-Surgical ward. A total of 86 respondents were selected into the study based on purposive sampling.

Although there was no significant difference, the descriptive data showed that Year 4 nursing students reported a high level of stress. Female nursing students significantly
experienced high level of stress during practicum in Medical-Surgical ward than male nursing students. Besides, the personal-related stressor was rated as the highest stressful stressor and patient-related stressor was rated as the less stressful stressor. There were a lot of stressors encountered by nursing students in clinical area. As a result, it reduces the quality of education in the clinical setting.
