Abstract
This study was planned descriptively in order to determine the factors affecting the attention control levels of nursing students. This research was carried out with the participation of 401 nursing students who were studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university between 22.04.2021 and 29.04.202. The data in the study were collected using a 19-question questionnaire that determines the sociodemographic characteristics of the nursing students and the Attention Control Scale. Kruskal Wallis, Mann Whitney U test and Cronbach's Alpha coefficient were used to evaluate the data. It was determined that the highest score of the students on the Attention Control Scale items was related with the statement "It is very difficult for me to concentrate on a difficult task when there are voices around (2.8 ± 0.9)", and the lowest score was related with the statement "It is easy for me to read or write at the same time while talking on the phone (2.0 ± 0.9)".
