Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Does expressive writing reduce clinical practice stress and improve coping strategies in student nurse interns?
* Does expressive writing increase work engagement and perceived professional benefit among student nurse interns?
Participants in the intervention group and control group will perform expressive writing and neutral writing, respectively, based on different given instructions. In both groups, writing will last for 15 minutes each time, twice a week, for ten weeks.
Researchers will compare the outcomes of the two groups to see if there are differences between clinical practice stress, coping strategies, work engagement, and perceived professional benefit.
