- Undergraduate Thesis: (B.S. Psychology) - Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, 2019
ABSTRACT: The nursing profession is one of the most stressful health professions. Previous studies indicate the effects of stress on student well-being and academic performance. The association between stess and life satisfaction, however, still remains unclear. This study used a correlational research design to examine the relationship between stress and life satisfaction among selected nursing students of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila wherein 150 respondents were administered the Multidimensional Students Life Satisfaction Scale and the Student Stress Inventory. Results revealed that : (a) the respondents fall under the moderate stress level, (b) the respondents have a moderate life satisfaction, (c) there is a moderate negative correlation between stress and life satisfaction among the respondents. To address the findings, a proposed intervention program was developed mainly to minimize stress and foster subjective well-being.
