Technical Synopsis

The study aims to examine the relationship between the perceived academic stress and coping
strategies towards suicidal ideation levels among nursing students of Velez College. Toero et al.
(2001) argued that the expectation to succeed in school and suicidal activities among children
and teenagers are closely related. In nursing students, academic stress has been seen as a barrier
to attention, problem-solving capacity, and mental wellbeing (Reeve et al., 2012). The strain
theory of suicide behaviors suggests that deficient coping can contribute to suicidal behaviors as
one of the most significant causes of strain (Speckens & Hawton, 2005). This study will be
utilizing a non-experimental quantitative cross-sectional correlational study design.The main
respondents of the study are the Velez College Nursing Students of school year 2020-2021.The
