Abstract

The study utilized a Descriptive Correlational Research Design to determine the relationship of mental tension and perceived clinical performance and whether there is a significant difference between mental tension and perceived clinical performance of third-year BSN students in DLSMHSI when grouped according to sex. The research instrument used was a self-made questionnaire incorporated with a Likert scale technique. Stratified random sampling was used. Data was analyzed through frequency distribution, mean, independent t-test and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. From the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. The majority of the respondents were female, corresponding to the third-year BSN students in DLSMHSI being dominated by females. 2. Third-year BSN students in DLSMHSI do not experience mental tension in terms of family condition, peer competition, and work environment. 3. Third-year BSN students in DLSMHSI have an excellent perceived clinical performance in terms of decision making and eagerness to learn. 4. There is no significant difference in mental tension and perceived clinical performance between male and female third-year BSN students. 5. Mental tension and perceived clinical performance have a moderately positive strength of correlation.
