Academic Stress: Coping Strategies by Nursing Students

Students across a wide range of industries and educational levels frequently feel academic stress. It is defined as the body's and mind's reaction to the demands and strains of education, such as homework, projects, exams, and clinical training. Particularly when it comes to juggling the demands of their education and their clinical training and practicum, nursing students confront special stresses. To uncover practical coping mechanisms that assist nursing students in their academic endeavors, this study examines the coping mechanisms used by these students to deal with academic stress. Data were gathered from 196 nursing students at St. Michael's College of varying academic levels using a descriptive-correlational study approach. The study looks at how respondents' characteristics, academic stress, and the coping mechanisms they use—such as problem-, emotional-, and avoidant-focused coping mechanisms—relate significantly. The results add to the understanding of how nursing students cope with academic stress by highlighting the importance of including stress management programs into the nursing curriculum to teach a variety of student-specific coping mechanisms. A preliminary investigation including thirty-two nursing students yielded significant information for improving the research questionnaire. Results revealed that there exist notable differences in the academic pressures experienced by the respondents when classified based on their profile. The stresses related to personal time management do not significantly differ according to age, sex, parental marital status, or family rank, except for year level, where fourth-year students exhibit greater stress levels. However, there are notable differences in the stresses associated with academic burden according to age and year level. Participants who are 20 years of age or younger report feeling less stressed than older participants, while first-year students report feeling more stressed than second- and third-year students. In conclusion, the results show that year level and age have a major impact on the stress that academic overload causes for the respondents. To lessen academic stress and improve students' general well-being, recommendations include encouraging peer-to-peer connection to create a friendly environment in educational institutions and advocating for self-care techniques. Important insights from nursing students helped to improve the research technique. One suggestion is to create a welcoming atmosphere in educational institutions by encouraging self-care behaviors and peer-to-peer engagement lessen the burden of school and improve the general wellbeing of children. These suggestions are pertinent to nursing educators and educational establishments that aim to provide nursing students with all-encompassing assistance in efficiently handling academic stress, therefore enhancing their general welfare and scholastic achievement.

Regulatory and legal foundations of the national education in Russia in the post-reform period (1860-1917)

The article is devoted to the problem of identifying regional peculiarities of the integral process of formation of normative-legal support for the activity of national education in post-reform Russia. The aim of the article is to present the results of the study of the relationship between the accumulation of organizational and legal knowledge and the applied experience of the implementation of this process at the national and regional levels. Objectives: to characterize the conditions that influenced the formation of normative-legal support for the activity of national schools as an independent direction of nation-state building in the educational system of post-reform Russia. The research was based on the principle of historicism, methods of analysis and comparison, historical-systemic, sociological methods and the method of content analysis. The analysis of the main normative-legal acts that directly or indirectly influenced the national education development demonstrates a rather high professionalism of the developers of the basic ideas of the national policy, which are characterized by external positive motivation. The authors confirmed the hypothesis of the study that in the period under study the normative and legal foundations for the establishment of the national education in Russia were laid, which played a determining role in the birth and development of educational institutions with a national component in Yenisei province. This historical experience was not wasted, but was taken into account in the next attempt to solve the problems of nation-state building and national education in the first decades of Soviet power, which determined the direction and nature of our further research activities from the position of determining the possibility of its use in modern conditions.

CSMU Grievance System

Abstract: This paper looks at the development and implementation of a CSMU grievance system in universities. It examines the benefits for Faculty and educational organizations, as well as the challenges faced by establishing and maintaining an effective system. We also highlight and show that such a system is necessary. A comprehensive review of existing literature, together with case studies of working complaints systems in educational establishments, forms the basis for the development of the system. The paper also provides an overview of how a Faculty complaint system should be structured and the general approach to its design, which calls for explicit ideas, effective communication, established reporting systems, trained experts as well as a proper procedure relating to complaints. Studies have shown that an effective redress system for Faculty can greatly improve the overall Faculty experience and help educational organizations increase their popularity with the general public. The paper describes how an efficient CSMU grievance system can be built and operated by academic institutions, as well as colleges and universities

Self-efficacy, mindfulness, and perceived social support as resources to maintain the mental health of students in Switzerland’s universities of applied sciences: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundSwitzerland’s student population is at a particularly high risk of developing mental health disorders, creating a major challenge for Switzerland’s higher education establishments. Research to date has primarily sought to identify the risk factors affecting students’ mental health; however, their exposure to these factors is often unavoidable. Thus, the present study adopted a salutogenic approach focussing on the determinants of health. We examined the mental health resources available to students reported in the literature as being susceptible to helping them maintain good mental health despite their exposure to risk factors.MethodsIn February 2020, 2,415 first- and second-year bachelor’s degree students in applied sciences in French-speaking Switzerland completed an online questionnaire. The variables measured were self-evaluated mental health, perceived stress and three potential health resources: students’ feelings of self-efficacy, their capacity for mindfulness and their social support. The results were analysed using hierarchical linear regression models.ResultsWhen all the variables were included in the model without interaction effect, our results revealed that students’ self-evaluated mental health was negatively associated with perceived stress (β = -0.43, p < 0.001) and positively associated with the three potential health resources (self-efficacy: β = 0.26, p < 0.001; mindfulness: β = 0.10, p < 0.001; social support: β = 0.17, p < 0.001). An analysis of the interaction effects also revealed that a high level of self-efficacy was associated with perceived stress being less strongly linked to mental health (β = 0.29, p < 0.001).ConclusionsThese findings suggest that self-efficacy, mindfulness, and perceived social support are valuable resources for protecting students’ mental health. Thus, implementing interventions aimed at reinforcing them, could support students in applied sciences all along their academic pathway, in their classes and during their professional work experience placements.

Identity capital and future concerns in urban adolescents from La Araucanía-Chile

IntroductionLate modernity influences the construction and constitution of identity and the management of adolescents’ future lives. Research has shown that identity capital predicts the resolution of a successful identity; however, in Latin America, no antecedents have conducted studies under this conceptual framework.AimTo analyze the relationship pattern between identity capital components and future concerns.MethodsThe participants were 703 adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19 years who, in the year 2021, were in the third and fourth years of high school in urban educational establishments in La Araucanía Chile, to whom questions from the Governance of Educational Trajectories in Europe (GOETE) adapted to the Chilean context and the general self-efficacy scale were applied. Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) were performed to determine the suitability of the indicators to measure the constructs of interest and a structural equation analysis to determine the pattern of relationships between variables.ResultsThe final model obtained excellent indicators of the goodness of fit [χ2 (422) = 965.858, p &amp;lt; 0.001; CFI = 0.977; TLI = 0.975; RMSEA = 0.043; SRMR = 0.056], in which it is evident that parental support and interaction are related to self-efficacy and self-concept and these, in turn, is associated with adolescents’ future concerns.ConclusionThe relationship pattern tested shows that associations between tangible elements at the family level are related to intangible aspects of a personal nature, which can be protective factors against future concerns, and provide empirical support for the psychometric usefulness of the GOETE indicators in the Chilean context.

Integrating the anthropological theory of didactics in multivariate calculus education: Challenges, pedagogical shifts, and innovative activities

The anthropological theory of didactics (ATD) provides a lens to view mathematics education by placing mathematical practices within socio-cultural and historical contexts. The significance of institutions, in what regards with educational establishments, societal structures, cultural norms, and historical contexts, influences the perception and practice of mathematics in both students and teachers. This perspective is relevant for understanding the complexities of teaching multivariate calculus. Traditional approaches to this subject have been lecture-based, but with the evolution of educational paradigms, active pedagogies have emerged as vital. These include among others inquiry-based learning, collaborative learning, the flipped classroom approach, technology-enhanced active learning, and project-based learning. The challenges students face in multivariate calculus range from conceptual complexities to visualization challenges and over-reliance on memorization. In this work, we propose a holistic approach for defining class activities in multivariate calculus with emphasis in integrating visualization techniques, real-world applications, collaborative activities, and feedback mechanisms. Accordingly, four class activities, grounded in the principles of ATD and tailored to address challenges in multivariate calculus, are proposed. These activities aim to foster significant understanding, relevance, and engagement in students.
