520 _aAbstract This descriptive-correlational study examined the anxiety levels and coping mechanisms among new entry nurses in Dumaguete City. Based on the Job Demand- Resources (D-R) Theory and Betty Neuman's Systems Model, it probed the impact of job-related factors, including tenure, preferred shift schedule, nurse-to-patient ratio, and work area, on anxiety and coping strategies. A total of 153 nurses working in five different hospitals were chosen and data were gathered using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STA) and the Filipino Coping Strategies Scale. The results indicated that majority ofrespondents were 21-25 years old and were mostly female. Most had high state anxiety levels with mean score (=47.78) and high traitanxiety levels with mean score (=45.67) that were strongly correlated with work-related factors, such as heavy patient loads and desired shifts. The adaptive coping strategies most frequently used were problem-solving, cognitive reappraisal, and social support, whereas maladaptive coping, was very low but present. The results indicate a significant correlation between trait anxiety levels and coping strategies including problem- solving (p=0.033), overactivity (p=0.039) and relaxation/recreation (p=0.027). This research highlights the need for organizational support, resilience training, and culturally appropriate coping interventions to optimize the mental well-being and job adjustment of early-career nurses. The findings are projected to informn policies specific to new nurses working in comparable healthcare environments.
