Perceptions of the Intervention of Music in Coping with Academic Stress of All Levels of Student Nurses at ISU-E

This study investigates the perceptions of nursing students at Isabela State University-Echague on using music as a coping strategy for academic stress. Music has emerged as a potential intervention to alleviate stress and improve cognitive performance. Previous studies suggest that music listening can reduce stress, enhance memorization, and inspire focus, offering psychological and physiological benefits. Incorporating evidence from the reviews and personal correspondence, this study demonstrates that recognizing music as a natural, cost-effective, and side-effect-free intervention, the research aims to bridge the gap in understanding its role in managing academic stress and enhancing academic performance. By examining how music influences students’ emotional and cognitive responses, the study seeks to provide evidence-based insights into the viability of music as a tool for stress relief. The findings aim to contribute to developing supportive interventions for nursing students, empowering them to navigate academic challenges more effectively and fostering well-being throughout their educational journey.
