ABSTRACT
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting nursing students' perceived stress levels and their competency. Material and Methods: This study was a descriptive, crosssectional study with 198 nursing students in Türkiye. A Student Identification Form completed by students, the Competency Inventory of Nursing Students and the Student Nurse Stress Index were used to collect data. The data were evaluated in the IBM SPSS 21 statistical program using mean, standard deviation, range, number and percentage, and the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: The results showed that stress experienced by nursing students was moderate and that they evaluated their competence as good. While there was a significant difference between the students' Competency Inventory of Nursing Students mean scores and the variables of class, family income, and general weighted grade point average, there was a significant difference between Student Nurse Stress Index mean scores and the gender and class variables. Conclusion: The nursing students experienced moderate stress while maintaining high levels of competency, ethics, and responsibility. It was concluded that the female students had higher stress levels than male students, and that the stress levels of students whose income was lower than their expenses were higher than those of students whose income and expenses were equal. It was determined that fourth-year students, third-year students, and students whose income was higher than their expenses and whose grade point average was higher felt more competent.

ÖZET
Amaç: Bu araştırma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin algıladıkları stres düzeylerini ve yetkinliklerini etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu araştırma, Türkiye'de 198 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile tanımlayıcı, kesitsel bir çalışma olarak yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında Öğrenci Tanılama Formu, Hemşirelik Öğrencileri Yetkinlik Ölçeği ve Öğrenci Hemşire Stres İndeksi kullanıldı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesi IBM SPSS 21 istatistik programında ortalama, standart sapma, aralık, sayı ve yüzdelik, Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskal-Wallis testi ile gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin yaşadıkları stresin orta düzeyde olduğu ve mesleki yeterliliklerini iyi olarak değerlendirdikleri görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin Yetkinlik Ölçeği puan ortalamaları ile sınıf, aile gelir durumu, genel ağırlıklı not ortalaması değişkenleri arasında anlamlı fark bulunurken, Öğrenci Hemşire Stres İndeksi puan ortalamaları ile cinsiyet, sınıf değişkeni arasında anlamlı fark olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin yüksek mesleki yeterlilik, etik ve sorumluluk düzeyleri göz önüne alındığında orta düzeyde stres yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Kız öğrencilerin stres düzeylerinin erkeklere göre daha yüksek olduğu, geliri giderinden düşük olanların stres düzeylerinin ise; geliri gideri eşit olan öğrencilerden daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin, üçüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin ve geliri giderinden yüksek olan ve genel not ortalaması yüksek olan öğrencilerin kendilerini daha yetkin hissettikleri belirlenmiştir.
