Stress among nursing students comes from many sources and it is a global issue. Students cannot avoid stress but their ability to cope with these stressors is important in achieving success in the academic performance. Aim: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Deep Breathing Exercises on stress among First Year B.Sc Nursing students. Materials and Methods: : Pre-experimental research approach with one group pre-test–post-test design was used to conduct the study. Non-probability Judgmental sampling technique was used to select 40 samples from the total of 50 First Year B.Sc Nursing students. The tool used was Modified Stress Rating scale. Result: The present study revealed that the mean pre-test stress scores were 94.48 and standard deviation 16.839 and the mean post-test stress scores was 77.92 and the standard deviation was 5.650. The stress scores had reduced after the intervention of Deep Breathing Exercises technique. Paired ‘t’ test was done to find out the effectiveness of Deep Breathing Exercises technique, with ‘t’ value of (t=8.881) which showed that reduction in stress was significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: The study concluded that the Deep Breathing Exercises was an effective intervention in the reduction of stress among First Year B.Sc Nursing students.
