Background of the Study
Stress during examination periods is a common experience for students in higher education, and nursing students are particularly susceptible due to the demanding nature of their curriculum. Stress can arise from academic pressures, clinical placements, financial challenges, and personal issues (Eze et al., 2023). High levels of stress can negatively affect students' health, academic performance, and well-being (Oluwaseun & Adebayo, 2024). The relationship between stress and academic performance is complex, with some students performing better under stress, while others may experience performance declines.
At Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, nursing students face intense academic pressure, particularly during examination periods, when the demands of coursework and clinical rotations converge. Understanding the sources and effects of stress on nursing students can inform interventions to help them manage stress more effectively, improve their academic outcomes, and support their overall well-being.
Statement of the Problem
Nursing students at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, often experience high levels of stress during examination periods, which may affect their academic performance and mental health. However, there is limited research on the specific stressors that nursing students face and how stress impacts their examination performance. Identifying these stressors and understanding how they affect students can help develop strategies to alleviate stress and enhance students' academic success during exams.

1. To assess the stress levels among nursing students during examination periods at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso.
2. To identify the primary sources of stress for nursing students during examinations.
3. To explore the impact of stress on nursing students' academic performance and well-being.
