Nursing students have been shown to experience
symptoms of stress and burnout during their
studies, are more likely to struggle with symptoms
of stress and burnout post-graduation, and are also
more likely to leave their jobs than those who do
not experience these symptoms.
To describe nursing students’ education and future
plans, general and academic stress and burnout
during their final year of study in Iceland; examine
the relationship between stress and burnout with
studies, future plans, and background and analyze
what influences stress, personal and academic
burnout, and burnout related to fellow students.
Descriptive, quantitative survey. Instruments the
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Copenhagen
Burnout Inventory (CBI) measured symptoms of
stress and burnout. Linear regression analysis was
used to detect what influences stress and burnout.
Participants were 82 (72.6% response). The mean
score on PSS was 17.8 (range 9-40), on personal
burnout 42.9, on educational burnout 56.9 and
on burnout related to fellow students 31.2 (the
scales range from 0 to 100). Majority of students
Nursing students experience stress and burnout
during their final year of education. It is important
to find ways to prevent and treat stress and reduce
burnout among nursing students during their studies.

Stress and burnout among nursing students
Flygenring B., Bjornsdottir R., Jonsdottir S., Sveinsdottir H.
experienced high levels of stress related to their
academic study (85%) and lack of study guidelines
(57%). Four regression analyses were employed.
Model 1 showed that students who report that they
receive little/no support in their studies and little/
no study instructions are more likely to have a
higher mean score on PSS (r2=17.2). Model 2 showed
that students who are 30 years and older are more
likely to have a higher mean score on the burnout
scale related to fellow students (r2=8.1). Model 3
showed that students with high/very high stress
related to academic study and communication with
teachers are more likely to have a higher mean
score on the educational burnout scale (r2=34.8).
Model 4 shows that students who have higher
scores on PSS are likelier to have higher mean
scores on the personal burnout scale (r2= 30.6).
