outcomes, satisfaction scores & ultimately, reimbursements. The health and well-being of student nurses

wellness, 55% had good level of holistic health and wellness, 9.2% had fair and 1.7% had below average.


ANOVA test for finding the difference in between the groups reveled that there is significant difference


between year of course at (p=0.003) level and no difference found with area of residence (p=0.681) and


gender (p=0.105). post hoc test done to find out exactly which intergroup differed one another and result


showed difference between first year & second year at (p=0.02) and first year & forth year (p=0.03).
