Theoretical Framework

One of the normal effect of nurses’ everyday lives is stress; nurses’ lives is not normal in a way that you
will have incomplete hours of sleep and night becoming day.

Through stress management, nursing students are being capable of facing different stressors in school
and in hospital setting. Their competency and effectivity of these students may also depend on how they adapt
and cope with stress.

On Hans Selye’s Stress of Life, he pointed out that few people define the concept of stress in the same way or even
bother to attempt a clear-cut definition. According to Selye, an important aspect of stress is that a wide variety of
dissimilar situations are capable of producing the stress response such as fatigue, effort, pain, fear, and even
success. This has led to several definitions of stress, each of which highlights different aspects of stress.
