# Does feeling in control help nursing students with PMS cope with school stress?

Yes. Feeling in control and being satisfied with their major both fully explained how school stress affects how engaged students are with learning.

 Early or limited evidence

133 female nursing students with PMS symptoms from a nursing college in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea

## What they did

133 nursing students with PMS symptoms completed questionnaires measuring school stress, feeling in control, satisfaction with their major, and how engaged they were with learning. Researchers looked at how these factors related to each other.

## What they found

School stress, feeling in control, and major satisfaction were all linked to learning engagement. Feeling in control and major satisfaction both fully explained the relationship between school stress and learning engagement.

For nursing students with PMS, feeling like you have control and being happy with your chosen field might help you stay engaged with learning despite stress. This is a small group from one nursing school.
