Abstract

These results indicate a significantly higher level of distress among students than in the literature. There were several specific symptom domains where we see particular difficulties -- anxiety is a big one, but surprisingly, so were paranoia and psychotisism. It is imperative to identify nursing students in distress and develop interventions.
