The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between stress levels and the coping style of nursing college students.And to find and provide effective stress-coping strategies.Data were collected from 257 nursing college students and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient.Nursing college students were more stressed at the lower economic level, pocket money level, and major satisfaction.The coping strategies of nursing college students were mainly related to avoidance centering stress coping style and were not related to coping style through problem-solving and social support seeking.In conclusion, nursing college students lack coping behavior to find their willingness to solve problems themselves and their coping resources in the process of coping with stress and mainly related to passive coping methods to avoid stressful situations.Therefore, it is necessary to develop a stress-coping intervention program that can develop methods and abilities to relieve stress and mediate it.
