About this study
Nursing students experience increased stress and sleep problems due to their demanding academic schedules and the pressures of the clinical environment. Therefore, addressing students' needs for stress and sleep management is critical to improving their educational success. A review of the literature reveals that various interventions are being used to reduce stress levels or improve sleep quality for university students. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a web-based intervention program on the stress and sleep levels of nursing students.
This study will utilize a pretest-posttest control group experimental design. The study will be conducted with 120 nursing students enrolled at İnönü University Faculty of Nursing from September 2025 to June 2026. Participants will be administered a Personal Information Form, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Nursing Education Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the experimental and control groups will be monitored via a mobile application for 12 weeks. Descriptive statistics such as percentages, arithmetic mean (x̄), and standard deviation (SD), along with chi-square and independent samples t-tests, repeated measures t-tests, and Cronbach's alpha will be used for research analyses.
The research is unique in terms of its sample size and the intervention it plans to implement. Therefore, it has the potential to be published in respected international scientific journals. Furthermore, if the effectiveness of the application in managing stress and sleep is established, it is anticipated that it could be applied to other adult populations, particularly midwifery students.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
nursing education stress scores
The scale consists of a total of 32 items and two subscales: "Application Stress" and "Academic Stress." Items 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 27, 29, and 32 are scored to calculate students' application stress, while items 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 20, 22, 23, 26, 28, 30, and 31 are scored to calculate students' academic stress. The scale is a four-point Likert-type scale, with each item scored between 0 and 3 ("0" being not stressful at all, "3" being very stressful). The highest score possible from the scale is 96, with higher scores indicating higher educational stress.
Measured: six months
sleep quality
The PSQI consists of seven components (subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance/conditions affecting sleep, use of sleep-inducing medications/substances, and daytime dysfunction/sleepiness). 18 questions are included in the scoring when calculating the PSQI. The answers to each are scored between 0 and 3. The total scale score ranges from 0 to 21. A total scale score higher than 5 indicates poor sleep quality.
Measured: six months
