Description
Md Ikbal Hossain and colleagues present a 2026 survey of mental health among nursing students on clinical placement in Sylhet, Bangladesh. Placement work is required for graduation but exposes students to heavy workloads and difficult ward relationships. Data were collected over about three weeks in mid-2025 at one nursing college, using the DASS-21 symptom screening scale.
The survey covered 382 students with an average age near 22 years. Symptoms rated mild or worse were reported by about 75 percent for depression, about 78 percent for anxiety, and about 53 percent for stress. Female sex, poor peer relationships, lack of rest chances, and dissatisfaction with staff nurse behavior were tied to worse scores. The authors stress that the scale screens symptoms rather than diagnosing illness, and they point to rest and ward culture as practical targets.
