Background:Clinical training has been recognized as a stressful experience for nursing students.Psychiatric/ mental health nursing is one of the core courses for undergraduate nursing students, but the complex and abstract nature of much of the psychiatric mental health course content makes it a challenge for many students.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing intervention on clinical training stress and self-control among faculty of nursing students.A quasi-experimental research design two groups (experimental and control group) was used to achieve the aim of the study.This study was carried out at Faculty of Nursing, Menoufia University.A convenient sample of 180 students selected from the previous selected setting who had clinical training stress and disturbed levels of self-control.Three tools were used for data collections (1): A structured interviewing questionnaire to assess socio-demographic characteristics of the students, (2): Nursing education stress scale (clinical training stress subscale), (3): Self-control scale.The results revealed that there was a significant reduction on the levels of clinical training stress and improvement of self-control levels in the experimental group after application of nursing intervention than control group.Based on this result it was concluded that nursing intervention had a great effect in reducing the levels of clinical training stress and increasing the levels of self-control among faculty of nursing students.Recommendations: Generalize the application of nursing intervention to all college students to reduce their clinical training stress and increase their self-control.
