Brief Summary

Background: Nursing interns are the backup force for the development of the nursing career and the main force of the future nursing team. Different pressures will arise due to changes in the environment, schedule and interpersonal relationships. Stress will negatively affect nursing students, leading to anxiety, depression and even despair, which will accelerate the brain drain and shortage in the nursing industry, and is extremely detrimental to the healthy development of the nursing workforce. Objective: To explore the effect of creative drama workshop on the stress level and stress coping behavior of nursing students. Methods: The intern nursing students who met the standards were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. Both groups received routine nursing training, and the intervention group participated in creative drama workshops on this basis. The stress levels and stress coping styles of the two groups of nursing students were evaluated before and after the intervention and once a month during the intervention using the Nursing Student Stressor Scale and the Simple Coping Style Scale.
