Background: Aimed to determine the relationship between the perceived stress levels of senior nursing students and their self-efficacy for the nursing profession.
Method: The population of this descriptive and relationship-seeking study consisted of a total of 124 senior nursing students studying in the nursing department of a university in the 2022-2023 academic year. The research, using the full count sampling method, was completed with the participation of 103 students. Personal Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students and Nursing Profession Self-Efficacy Scale were used to obtain the data.
Results: It was determined that the average scores of the students' perceived stress levels (71.66±24.72) and nursing profession self-efficacy (70.91±12.53) were above the medium level. It was determined that the self-efficacy levels of those who chose the nursing profession with pleasure were higher and this difference was statistically significant (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Although students' self-efficacy in the nursing profession is considered sufficient, it should be aimed to increase it further. In order to reduce students' stress levels and complete their deficiencies, educational activities should be carried out and methods should be developed to support learning.
