Abstract :The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between Zoom fatigue and nursing education stress among nursing students. A descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study design was employed. Nursing students were invited to participate in an online survey to collect quantitative data. The target population consisted of second-, third-, and fourth-year nursing students (N = 223) enrolled during the 2021–2022 academic year. The study was conducted between October 2021 and January 2022. Data were collected using the Student Information Form, the Zoom Fatigue Scale, and the Nursing Education Stress Scale. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The mean total score on the Zoom Fatigue Scale was 3.49 ± 0.89, while the mean total score on the Nursing Education Stress Scale was 71.23 ± 14.01. A significant difference was found in the Nursing Education Stress Scale total scores based on gender (p < 0.05). Additionally, a positive and statistically significant correlation was observed between the total scores of the Zoom Fatigue Scale and the Nursing Education Stress Scale (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that as Zoom fatigue levels increased, nursing education stress also increased. It is recommended that interactive classroom environments be provided to support nursing students in enhancing their professional knowledge and competencies.
