Description
This study will explore the relationship between nursing students’ stress levels and their experiences with virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic during the spring semester of 2021. Roy’s Adaptation model guides the understanding of how individuals adapt to and interact with a changing environment. The model fits in the research to assess how nursing students deal with a stressful environment. What is the relationship between nursing students’ stress levels and their experiences with virtual learning during the pandemic? We hypothesize that there is a positive correlation between the number of hours spent in virtual learning activities and the level of stress among nursing students. The study uses a descriptive quantitative design. It will examine the relationship between the variables cross-sectionally, without assuming causality among variables. Nursing students are eligible to participate in the study if they were enrolled in the Nursing Program at Minnesota State University, Mankato during the spring of 2021. Participants will be invited to complete a survey aiming to understand their stress levels and the extent of their experiences with virtual learning during the pandemic. The questionnaire includes items about demographics, socioeconomic information, academic life, stress levels, self-efficacy, feelings of isolation, and the number of virtual learning hours during spring 2021. The anonymous research survey will be sent to eligible students through the nursing administration office. Statistical data analysis will show whether the hypothesis is supported or not. The study will yield findings that will enable the researchers to draw conclusions and understand the relationship between nursing students’ stress levels and their experiences with virtual learning during the pandemic.
