Prevalence and associated factors of mental distress among private college nursing students in Gondar town, Northwest Ethiopia, 2023
The prevalence of mental distress was notably high. Associated factors included sex, residence, social support, physical exercise, access to guidance and counseling services, and family history of mental illness. We recommend that the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education strengthen guidance and counseling services and promote regular physical exercise at the college level.
