“…El locus de control también cobra una gran importancia como concepto a nivel de salud, se ha demostrado que las personas con mayores niveles de locus de control interno presentan vidas más activas físi-camente, controlan más su alimentación, menos conductas adictivas, más conductas de higiene personal, menor predisposición a desarrollar enfermedades y mayor resistencia ante ellas, menos estrés, mejores estrategias de afrontamiento para la vida diaria, mayor satisfacción con la vida y mayor resistencia ante las adversidades (Fimian & Cross, 1986;Glogow, 1986;Halpin & Harris, 1985;Hernández & Olmedo, 2004;Jafari, Sohrabi, Jomehri, & Najafi, 2009;Karayurt & Dicle, 2008;Menec & Chipperfield, 1997;Roddenberry & Renk, 2010;Spector, 1982;Spector, Sánchez, Siu, Salgado, & Ma, 2003;Steptoe & Wardle, 2001;Turiano, Chapman, Agrigoroaei, Infurna, & Lachman, 2014).…”

“…Therefore, the combination of low job control and high job demands leads to the highest levels of stress. Several studies have pointed the LOC as a predictor of mental health (17,(21)(22)(23). These studies have indicated that external LOC leads in higher risk of developing mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.…”

Background: Locus of control (LOC) is one of the most important factors with a significant role in stress management and increase or decrease negative emotions, notably in the work environment with many occupational consequences. This effect is more prominent in those working in more stressful environments such as medical professionals including nurses. Objectives: This study examined the association of job stress and perceived LOC considering covariates variables. Patients and Methods: Subjects were female nurses working in public hospitals in Shiraz during 2011. A total of 270 nurses were selected according to stratified sampling with proportional allocation. They were asked to complete the Rotter's internal-external LOC scale and Occupational Stress Questionnaire. Results:The results showed that the LOC has significant positive association with the occupational stress (P < 0.001). Conclusions:The result supported the significant association of LOC with occupational stress in nurses. With regard to the impact of internal LOC, organizing educational programs in this field may promote the nurses' health in workplaces.

“…Duman and Çankaya (2006) found that the internal LOC levels of third-and fourth-grade students were significantly different from those of first-grade students. Likewise, Karayurt and Dicle (2008) found a significant difference in mean LOC scores of students in different years of a program, with a greater tendency towards internal LOC among third-and fourth-year students. However, at the end of a 12-week problem-based learning (PBL) course, Martin, West, and Bill (2008) found that their participants' internal LOC increased, although this increase was not statistically significant.…”

In this survey carried out over a 4-year period we explored the changes perceived in the locus of control (LOC) of 58 nursing students enrolled in a baccalaureate nursing education program with an integrated problem-based learning curriculum. The results suggested that there was a statistically significant difference in LOC between the first and second years. A significant difference was found in the mean scores of the students according to year in personal control, fatalism, and belief in an unfair world. But, when analyzed further, there were no significant differences according to year in personal control and belief in an unfair world. However, a statistically significant difference was found in fatalism between the first-and third-year students. Implications for nursing training programs and curriculum development are discussed.Keywords: locus of control, nursing students, problem-based learning. (Dag, 1997). Researchers have described two potential sources of LOC for individuals: intemal and extemal. Rotter (1966) theorized that individuals with an intemal LOC beüeve that they have control over things that happen to them whüe those with an extemal LOC beüeve that outside forces influence them. Individuals with an intemal LOC have been characterized as active, effective, talented in problem solving, highly motivated, self-confident, and successful in personal ufe, school, and work. Locus of control (LOC) is defined as a person's perception of control over hist her own life and how hetshe copes with events
