ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, cerrahi hastalıkları hemşireliği dersini alan öğrencilerin sınav kaygısı ve stresle başa çıkma düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın örneklemini 1-15 Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında Türkiye'de bulunan iki üniversitenin hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören ve cerrahi hastalıkları hemşireliği dersini alan 213 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama araçları olarak öğrenci tanıtım formu, Stresle Başa Çıkma Tarzları Ölçeği (SBÇTÖ) ve Westside Sınav Kaygısı Ölçeği (WSKÖ) kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde sayı ve yüzdelik hesapları, aritmetik ortalama, Student t-test, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve lineer regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Anlamlılık p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmada öğrencilerin sınav kaygısı puanlarının 25,67±11,92 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin stresle başa çıkma tarzlarından en fazla kendine güvenli yaklaşım ve iyimser yaklaşım yöntemini kullandıkları saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin WSKÖ puanı ile SBÇTÖ kendine güvenli yaklaşım (p<0,001) alt boyut puanı arasında istatistiksel olarak negatif yönde ve orta düzeyde; çaresiz yaklaşım (p=0,028) ve boyun eğici yaklaşım (p=0,011) arasında ise pozitif yönde düşük düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlendi (p<0,05). Çoklu lineer regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin sınav kaygılarını önemli ölçüde etkileyen faktörlerin; cinsiyet ve ''kendine güvenli yaklaşım'' alt boyutları olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonucunda, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin stresle baş etme tarzlarının yetersiz olması, sınav kaygılarını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu araştırma sonuçlarının stresin psikolojik etkilerine yönelik uygulanacak müdahale planlarına katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study was conducted as a descriptive and correlational study to determine the levels of exam anxiety and coping with stress in students taking the surgical diseases nursing course. Material and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 213 students studying in the nursing departments of two universities in Türkiye between 1-15 May 2022 and taking the surgical diseases nursing course. Student introduction form, Stress Coping Styles Scale (SCSS) and Westside Test Anxiety Scale (WTAS) were used as data collection tools. Number and percentage calculations, arithmetic mean, Student t-test, Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. Significance was accepted as p<0.05. Results: In the study, it was determined that the test anxiety scores of the students were 25.67±11.92. It was determined that the students used the most self-confident approach and optimistic approach method among the coping styles with stress. It was determined that there was a statistically negative and medium level statistically significant relationship between the WTAS score of the students and the self-confident approach (p<0.001) sub-dimension score of the SCSS, and a positive and low level significant relationship between the helpless approach (p=0.028) and submissive approach (p=0.011). According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis, it was determined that the factors significantly affecting students' exam anxiety were gender and ''selfconfident approach'' sub-dimensions. Conclusion: As a result of our study, nursing students' inadequate coping styles with stress negatively affect their exam anxiety. It is thought that the results of this study may contribute to the intervention plans to be implemented for the psychological effects of stress.
