dc.description.abstractAim: To determine nursing students’ social appearance anxiety on wellness. Method: This research was conducted at Health Sciences University Gülhane Nursing Faculty, between 10 December and 1 January 2020, with voluntary participation of 319 students in total. The data collection form included sociodemographic information form, Social Appearance Anxiety Scale and Wellness Star Scale. The data collected by researchers was assessed with SPSS 18.0 software package using descriptive analyses, nonparametric tests (due to non-normal dispersion of data) and Pearson correlation test. Results: 93,7 of nursing students are in 18-22 age group, 86,8% of them are female and 42,3% of them are in the 2nd year at university. In statistical assessments, statistical difference was found between genders and economic conditions of students and their social appearance anxiety scale (SAAC) scores. It was found that the difference between students’ working status and their wellness star scale (WBSC) scores is statistically significant. According to the correlation analysis conducted between the two scales, a low-level negative relationship was found and it was found that there is statistical difference (p=0, 000, r=-392). In addition, it was determined that students’ wellness decreases as their social appearance anxiety levels increase. Conclusion: It was concluded that nursing students’ wellness decreases as their social appearance anxiety levels increase. In addition, it was identified that males have more social appearance anxiety. It was determined that wellness levels of working students are higher than those who are not working.
