Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Wellbeing
  • Stress Management

Background:

  • Graduate nursing students face significant academic and professional role demands, leading to high stress levels.
  • Effective stress management is crucial for their adaptation and success in complex healthcare systems.
  • Perceived stress can negatively impact health and professional capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review evidence on self-care interventions for perceived stress in graduate students.
  • To identify evidence-based strategies for coping with stress among this population.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of studies published in CINAHL Plus, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on self-care, graduate students, Perceived Stress Scale, quantitative data, and US-based studies.
  • Eight studies were critically appraised by experts.

Main Results:

  • All eight appraised studies demonstrated a reduction in perceived stress post-intervention.
  • Interventions included stress management courses and mind-body-stress-reduction (MBSR) techniques like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.
  • The Perceived Stress Scale was consistently used to measure stress reduction.

Conclusions:

  • Effective self-care interventions for graduate nursing students incorporate a didactic component, guided MBSR practice, and homework.
  • The use of trained or certified MBSR instructors is recommended for optimal intervention delivery.
  • These findings support the integration of MBSR for managing student stress.
