However, there was a statistically significant link between the year of study (p=0.034) and the stress level. There is no significant association between socio-demographic characteristics such as age (p= 0.284), gender (0.085), year of study (p=0.426), monthly income (p=0.558), willingness to study nursing (0.233) and stress level. Moreover, there is no significant association between stress level and satisfaction during clinical posting. Conclusion: Sociodemographic characteristics did not influence the stress level and satisfaction during clinical posting. In addition, nursing students in UPM had a moderate stress level but most of them still had high satisfaction with their clinical practice. Hence, the stress level did not depend on satisfaction regarding clinical practice. As a result, it was critical to improve students' stress level by providing a stable educational system and maintaining a stable educational framework for students.
