Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used, 50 nursing students were selected for the data collection procedure. The pre-test was conducted among the 50 nursing students by using a Student Nurse Stress Index developed by Jones and Johnston. Level of stress was identified and after giving the intervention of facial reflexology to the nursing students. The Post-test was conducted after 15 days and the effect of the facial reflexology was assessed by using a Student Nurse Stress Index.

Results: The effectiveness facial reflexology among the nursing students: pre-test levels of stress among the nursing students are moderate level of stress is 9 (18%) severe level of stress is 41 (82%). Post-test levels of stress mild 16 (32%) moderate 34 (68%) and none of them have severe stress after the post-test, the mean score of stress in the pre-test was 71.54± 17.345 and the mean score in the post-test was 33.88± 9.275 respectively. The calculated paired test value of t = 14.26 was greater than the tabulated value p<0.001. Hence the research hypothesis H1 and H2 was accepted. In pre-test medium of education had significant association chi-square vale (13.04), d.f 4 at p<0.05, post –test demographic variables of number of siblings had shown statistically significant association level of stress among nursing students with chi- square value of x2 =10.63,d.f =3 at p < 0.05 level. Conclusion: The result of this study proved that the selected intervention facial reflexology was very effective in stress (t value 14.26 (p= <0.00) had a significant effect in reducing stress among nursing students.
