Stress in nursing is inherent. Continuous and prolonged exposure to stress among nursing students can affect their academic as well as clinical performance. Stress is hazardous as it results in impaired body functions. Nursing students as part of health care system needs to be in optimum state of health in all dimensions (physical, psychological, social, spiritual and economical) to provide high quality care to the patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception level of stress and sources of stress among undergraduate nursing students. Coping behaviours of these students were also explored. The study was carried out in National Institute of Nursing Education, PGIMER, Chandigarh. Cross-sectional descriptive design was adopted in this study. Sample size consisted of 221 nursing students. Data were obtained using questionnaire method including Sociodemographic profile sheet, Perceived stress scale, stressor check list. Results revealed that no student was free from stress only the degrees of stress varied from individual to individual. Maximum students had low and moderate level of stress. Only 5 (2.3%) students had severe level of stress. Maximum mean stress score was for 2nd and 3rd year students of B.Sc. nursing (4 years) course. Main stressors in this study were clinical and academics related i.e. performing nursing procedures in front of teacher, increased classroom workload, fear of making mistakes in clinical area, poor performance in examination, fear of catching nosocomial infection. Few stressors were in other categories like personal problems, environmental issues and relationship issues. Positive as well as negative coping strategies were used by students to deal with the stressors.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is one of the health care approaches commonly used by patients with various health problems to promote health or to treat diseases or symptoms. The aim of the present study was to assess the use and perceived effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies among cardiac patients. The study was carried out in cardiology OPD, Advanced Cardiac Centre (ACC), PGIMER, Chandigarh. Descriptive research design was adopted. Data were collected from 530 out-patients who met eligibility criteria using semi-structured interview schedule. The results revealed that the mean age of subjects was 56 years. Most of the subjects were from joint family. Maximum subjects belonged to middle socioeconomic class and believed in Hinduism. Most prevalent diagnosis was CAD with MI and most of them underwent PCI. Among co-morbidities diabetes and hypertension (HTN) were the most common present in the study subjects. Half of the subjects were still in pre-hypertensive stage of HTN with present treatment. Self rated health status was fair for most of the subjects (63%). Among total subjects, 225(42.7%) were using CAM. Among them, mostly half of the subjects were continuing their CAM use with conventional medicine. Ayurveda, homeopathy, garlic, low salt diet, aloevera and exercises were the most preferred CAM approaches used by the subjects. Lesser side effect was the most common reason cited by the users for CAM use. Majority of the subjects perceived CAM use to be effective and were ready to use CAM in future also. The findings suggest that essential steps should be adopted for incorporating those CAM therapies into mainstream health care services for which evidence of effectiveness exists.Keywords
