Abstract

Graduate programs have been studied and shown to be stressful for their students. Students and their support persons can experience similar emotions which can impact the students' performance, this is known as the crossover effect. Student Nurse Anesthetists (SRNA) as well as their support persons attended an orientation program at a small Midwestern Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) program. All support persons were asked to complete a stress survey several months after the orientation program. Overall, the support persons reported that the orientation program was valuable. First year SRNAs were surveyed regarding their stress levels which had elevated levels when compared to previous years. These increases in stress could be related to the current pandemic and/or having some online classes.
