Abstract

Objective: to determine the prevalence of stress symptomatology among the University Nursing students in the province of Lugo. Method: a descriptive study conducted in 2016. The study population were students from the first, second and third year of Nursing at the University School of Nursing in Lugo. The Recent Life Changes Questionnaire (RLCQ) was used; it includes 74 items assessing a list of life events classified into five settings: health, work, home and family, personal and social, and finances. The level of stress is considered to be low with a value < 150, intermediate between 150 and 300, and high if > 300. Descriptive analysis was conducted with mean and standard deviation (SD). The SPSS version 24 statistical program was used. Results: in total, 118 questionnaires were collected. The mean (SD) age of participants was 21.5 (4.7) years. The mean score (SD) in the RLCQ was 239.9 (150). For the first year, the mean score (SD) was 197.5 (92.847); for the second year, it was 233 (155.17); and for the third year in the degree, it was 276.31 (170.82). Of the overall sample, 33.1% (n= 39) were considered to present low stress, 38.1% (n= 45) had intermediate stress, and 28.8% (n= 34) presented a high level of stress. Conclusions: it has been recorded that a third of the students from the first three years of the Nursing Degree at the province of Lugo present stress symptomatology.
