Stress is a prevalent health concern among nursing students, particularly during the thesis writing process. One of its potential consequences is migraine, which can negatively affect academic performance and quality of life. This study aimed to examine the relationship between stress levels and migraine occurrence among nursing students engaged in thesis writing. A quantitative, correlational design was employed and the study used total sampling, involving 93 nursing students enrolled in Thesis I and Thesis II courses at Universitas Klabat. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed via Google Forms and analyzed using Spearman’s Rho correlation test. The mean stress score was 2.46 (SD = 0.56), indicating that most students experienced mild stress. Of the 17 stress-related indicators, 10 reflected predominance of mild stress. Regarding migraine occurrence, 74 students (79.6%) did not report migraines, while 19 students (20.4%) experienced them. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant positive relationship between stress and migraine occurrence (p = 0.000), with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.578, suggesting a moderate positive correlation. Stress levels are significantly associated with the likelihood of migraines among nursing students, with higher stress increasing the potential for migraine occurrence. These findings highlight the need for targeted stress-management interventions to reduce health risks and support student well-being. Future studies should explore additional contributing factors to stress beyond thesis-related demands.
