High perceived stress levels and lack of effective coping skills could be a barrier to achieve the challenges of profession.

A self-administered Stress scale, Perceived stress scale, Scale of Physio psycho social response to stress and scale to assess the coping strategies were developed and validated with the help of experts in the field of nursing, psychology, Public Administration and Psychiatry. Data was collected by administering all the scales to 44 nursing interns after taking informed written consent from them. Data was analysed by using SPSS -16 statistical programme. Results showed that two third of interns had moderate to severe stress, especially during their clinical practice. Students were found to cope up stress by using various coping strategies like avoidance, transference, problem solving and optimism.
