Physical activity is one of the best known and proven ways to improve
physical and mental health and an overall well-being of an individual (Brumby
et al., 2011; Perales et al., 2014; Turk, 2015). To experience positive effects of
physical activity it is recommended for nursing students to be moderately or
vigorously physically active for at least 30 to 60 minutes per day (World Health
Organization, 2010; Zach et al., 2012). The positive effects of physical activity
are being noticed in physiological, psychological and sociological areas after
only 20 minutes of exercise (Rendi et al., 2008; Dean, 2009; Sibinga et al., 2011;
Dinger et al., 2014; Perales et al., 2014; Dolenc, 2015).
Share of physically active nursing students significally decreases in tran-
sition from high school to faculty. Sedentary way of life also carries an impor-
tant role in lack of physical activity (Valois et al., 2008; Van Dyck et al., 2014;
Vedrana et al., 2016).
Methods
The objective of our research was to find out what are nursing students‘ opin-
ions about the effects of physical activity on stress management.
Data gathering methods and techniques
The research was based on descriptive non-experimental quantitative research
method. Slovene and foreign references for the needs of theoretical and empiri-
cal background have been looked up in databases COBISS, CINAHL, PubMed,
SpringerLink, MedLine and Health Source. Used keywords: health care, edu�-
cation, adolescence, stress, physical activity.
Instrument
A structured questionnaire was employed online to its respondents. A survey
was based on the references’ check-up (Gojkovič, 2009; Preisinger, 2010; Cupar,
2012), and was structured in second complexes using closed questions and Lik-
ert’s scales.
Sample
Research included a purposive sample of nursing students of full age of Sec-
ondary School of Nursing in Ljubljana and nursing students of Angela Boškin
Faculty of Health Care in Jesenice, registrated in education year of 2016/2017
from March 2017 to May 2017. Sample was completed by 159 respondents, there-
of 38,4 % were secondary school students and 61,6 % faculty students; 16,4 %
male and 83,6 % female respondents.
