University of Luzon Nursing Student to Share Vital Research on Student Stress at International Conference in Bangkok

A significant contribution to the understanding of academic pressure in nursing education is poised for global recognition, as Jo Kenneth M. Corpuz, a dedicated student from the University of Luzon’s College of Nursing and Midwifery, prepares to present his innovative research. His findings will be unveiled at the 6th International Multidisciplinary Conference on Research and Education, organized by ETCOR Educational Research Center, Inc., on November 7, 2025, at the Prince Palace Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. This event will serve as a convergence point for a global assembly of academics and researchers.

Corpuz’s study, entitled “Stress Management Strategies Among Nursing Students: A Concurrent Mixed-Methods Study,” thoroughly examines the multifaceted emotional and scholastic challenges encountered by those pursuing nursing careers. Developed in collaboration with co-authors Jures Soriano, Vince Louie Monje, Kenneth Rheniel Estrada, Khate Russel Tamayo, and Jordan Llego, the research team investigated both the origins of stress and the diverse coping strategies employed by students. Given the high levels of reported stress among the participants, this timely investigation highlights an urgent need for enhanced institutional support within nursing programs.

The research employed a concurrent mixed-methods design, which not only quantified the stress levels experienced by nursing students but also provided a human dimension through compelling personal accounts. Key themes emerging from these narratives, such as “Overwhelmed but Surviving” and “Burnout and Escape,” illuminate the often-unseen psychological burden carried by Luzonians striving for professional healthcare roles. These insights strongly advocate for bolstering student support services within nursing institutions.

Corpuz will present his work within the Science, Technology, and Engineering Strand, a platform dedicated to showcasing groundbreaking advancements and evidence-based solutions. The research is expected to deeply influence educators and administrators, offering actionable recommendations that include mental health counseling, effective time management workshops, and robust community support systems. The conference, which champions the theme “Embracing the Culture of Research and Aligning Inquiry with Contemporary Global Challenges,” will also feature an awards ceremony and a book launch, celebrating scholarly achievements worldwide.

For Corpuz and his team, this international acknowledgment not only validates the importance of their work but also paves the way for future cross-cultural collaborations in nursing education research. As global discussions on student mental health gain increasing prominence, this study stands as a crucial addition to the existing body of knowledge. The forthcoming presentation in Bangkok is more than just an individual achievement; it serves as a powerful reminder that the foundation for the well-being of future healthcare professionals is laid within academic environments.

This significant research and its presentation directly contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By addressing the mental health and well-being of nursing students, the study aligns with SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, which seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Furthermore, by striving to enhance the quality of education and advocating for improved student support, the initiative supports SDG 4: Quality Education, aiming to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and foster lifelong learning opportunities for all. Lastly, the research’s emphasis on evidence-based solutions and international cooperation resonates with SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, which focuses on strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing the global partnership for sustainable development.
