Abstract

Psychological distress refers to a state of emotional suffering that can manifest as symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It is a growing concern among nursing students. Nursing students often encounter multiple stressors, including academic pressures, clinical workloads, financial concerns, and a lack of social support, which may predispose them to experience higher rates of psychological distress. This psychological strain has a direct impact on their emotional well-being, academic performance, and the ability to provide quality patient care as future healthcare providers. Studies suggest that nursing students exhibit varying levels of anxiety, depression, and stress, and these levels tend to peak during critical periods such as clinical placements or examinations.1

This review aims to synthesize existing research related to psychological distress among nursing students. It will explore studies investigating levels of psychological distress, contributing factors, coping strategies, and interventions. By doing so, the review seeks to identify gaps in the literature and offer insights into effective strategies for addressing psychological distress in this vulnerable population.2
