Abstract :It is a descriptive and cross-sectional study that aims to determine the relationship between the stress levels perceived by nursing students during the pandemic and their attitudes towards the nursing profession with the differences between demographic variables. The sample of the study consisted of 494 undergraduate nursing students in different provinces of Turkey. The research data were collected through a web-based survey prepared by the researchers between May and June 2020 using the Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, and Attitude Scale for Nursing Profession. Perceived Stress Scale mean score was 15.60±4.89, Attitude Scale for Nursing Profession mean score was 170±20.79. There was no significant relationship between perceived stress and professional attitudes of nursing students (p>0.05). There was a significant difference in the Perceived Stress Scale score in terms of grade and the presence of healthcare professionals in the nuclear family, and in the Attitude Scale for Nursing Profession score in terms of the geographical region of the university (p<0.05).This study revealed that during the pandemic, nursing students perceive moderate stress, exhibit a positive attitude towards the profession, and there is no relationship between their perceived stress and professional attitudes. Also, the grade, presence of healthcare professionals in the nuclear family, and the geographical region of the university affect this situation.Keywords : COVID-19, Mesleki tutum, Algılanan stres, Hemşirelik öğrencileri
