A sample of 112 full‐time baccalaureate nursing students from year 1–3 completed the stress in nursing students, social support rating scale and Trait meta‐mood scale. Results. Cluster analysis revealed two profiles in four main factors: demographic, perceived emotional intelligence, social support and stress level. Conclusions. Findings might help by providing important information for health care professionals to develop interventions that improve students’ psychological health during their university life. Relevance to clinical practice.
