The Use of Electroencephalographic (Eeg) Wearable Technology in Stress Management of Nursing Students: A Mixed Methods Study

Abstract

People may encounter stressful situations daily. However, some persistently occurring stressors can detrimentally affect an individual’s quality of life. Lazarus RS & Folkman S [1] mentioned that stress occurs when people are not able to effectively adapt to environmental demands that can potentially impede their general well-being. For this study, nursing students were chosen as participants, as they can be perceived as individuals who encounter a significant amount of stress during their academic endeavors. According to Sawatzky JV [2], stress is a psychological factor that can have negative effects on nursing students’ academic performance and personal welfare.
