**5. Recommendation**

The review contends that using different mechanisms improves the quality of nursing education delivered to the nursing students during the pandemic. The coping mechanisms discussed in the study imply the importance of creating a structured learning environment to enhance the outcomes of the nursing students while minimizing their susceptibility to anxiety and stress. Further studies will suffice to deliberate on mental issues and solutions facing nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
