However, the most common stressors facing nursing students are related to clinical training and workload. Other stressors are related to time management in balancing academic and social commitments. Nursing students face many academic stressors, particularly during their clinical training.
, along with a higher rate of academic stress, mainly among nursing and medical students. Evidence showed that university students, particularly those in health science departments, have higher rates of anxiety and depression than the general population. Stress triggers several mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, eating disorders, alcohol, and substance use among university students. University students experience a high stress level, which highlights the need for adequate advising and support services to enable students to achieve their goals. The SAACS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing students’ experience with academic advising and counseling services and can be utilized to improve those services in nursing school settings. The overall SAACS reliability showed an excellent internal consistency with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.97 (95% CI: 0.966 – 0.972). The content validity index (CVI) of SAACS overall score (S-CVI) is 0.989, and S-CVI/UA (universal agreement) is 0.944, which indicates excellent content validity. Students’ mean age was 20.3 ± 1.4, and the majority of them were female (81.9%), single (95.6%), and unemployed (92.3%). ResultsĪ total of 1,134 students from both sites completed the questionnaire. The SAACS is developed based on relevant literature and tested for content and construct validity. MethodsĬross-sectional design was used to collect online self-administered data from undergraduate nursing students in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the current study aims to develop a student academic advising and counseling survey (SAACS) and measure its validity and reliability. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of research on academic advising and student-support systems among nursing students. Academic advising and counseling services support students in achieving their educational outcomes.
