The Impact

Background: Studies have shown that resilience has a buffering effect on mental health problems. However, the influence of resilience on the impact on the Quality of Life (QoL) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has not been well documented.Objective: This study examined the influence of resilience on the COVID-19 impact on QoL among nursing students.Methods: A cross-sectional research design was utilized. Three hundred and forty-five students of a government-funded nursing school in the Philippines responded in the web-based survey. Data were gathered using two adopted instruments from 18 to 31 August 2020. Test for differences and correlational analyses were performed.Results: The COVID-19 pandemic had a moderate impact on the QoL of nursing students. The COVID-19 impact on QoL significantly varied with sex and the nearby presence of COVID-19 cases. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant moderate inverse relationship between psychological resilience and the impact of COVID-19 on QoL.Conclusion: Resilience has a protective influence on the impact on QoL concerning main areas of mental health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the factors and developing interventions that build the resilience of students is a focal point of action for nursing schools.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between educational stress and psychological resilience in nursing students. Method: The descriptive and analytical design of the study consists of 602 students in the nursing department of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Ordu and Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University. Data were collected using Personal Information Form, Nursing Education Stress Scale (NESS), and Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA). Data, frequency distribution, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, and Spearman correlation test were used. Findings: The mean age of the students was 20.37±2.10, 73.8% of them were women, the mean NESS score was 66.76±16.56, and the mean RSA score was 99.99±5.19. There was a high positive correlation between NESS total, academic and application sub-dimensions, RSA structural style and future perception, NESS total and academic sub-dimension was negatively correlated with social resources and NESS academic and family cohesion. Conclusions: Acording to results,  nursing students experience moderate academic and practice stress. Among the factors that affect students' psychological well-being, there is a positive relationship between personal strength and future goals, quests and adaptation to future, and stress (in practice area). In addition, it can be said that the psychological resilience of the students is moderate when the scores of the students are evaluated. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin eğitim stresi ile psikolojik dayanıklılıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Metod: Tanımlayıcı ve analitik tipte planlanan araştırmaya, Ordu ve Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümünde öğrenim gören 602 öğrenci dahil edilmiştir. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Hemşirelik Eğitimi Stres Ölçeği (HESÖ) ve Yetişkinler için Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği (YPDÖ) kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin analizinde, frekans dağılımı ve tanımlayıcı istatistikler (ortalama, standart sapma), Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis ve Spearman korelasyon testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.37±2.10, %73.8’i kadın, HESÖ puan ortalaması 66,76±16,56, YPDÖ puan ortalaması ise 99,99±5,19’dur. HESÖ toplam, akademik ve uygulama alt boyutları ile YPDÖ yapısal stil ve gelecek algısı arasında yüksek derecede pozitif yönde, HESÖ toplam ve akademik alt boyutu ile sosyal kaynaklar arasında ve HESÖ akademik ile aile uyumu arasında negatif yönde ilişki olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencileri orta düzeyde akademik ve uygulama alanlarında stres deneyimlemektedir. Öğrencilerin psikolojik iyi oluşlarını etkileyen faktörlerden kişisel özellikler ve geleceğe yönelik yeni amaç, arayışlar ve geleceğe uyumları ile stres (uygulama alanında) arasında pozitif ilişki bulunmaktadır.  Ayrıca, öğrencilerin YPDÖ puanlarına bakıldığında, psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının orta derece olduğu söylenebilir.

Abstract Background: Many nursing students will suffer from serious psychological problem. However, the intervention research on the psychological resilience of nurses is still in the exploratory stage and the efficiency of existing intervention methods remains variable because of limited comprehension of this relevant psychological construct. Therefore this study investigates the network structure of the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) in Chinese female nursing students to provide a novel understanding for resilience and targets for related interventions. Methods: This study was an online cross-sectional study conducted at three medical universities from 21 August 2020 to 25 August 2020. This study adopted the CD-RISC-10, with a total of 776 participants joined in. Network analysis was conducted and the main focus is strength centrality and predictability. Results: Three edges with strongest unregularized partial correlations existed in the final network, such as between item “Able to adapt to change” and item “Can deal with whatever comes”. The items with strongest strength centrality are “Thinks of self as strong person” and “Can achieve goals despite obstacles”. Conclusions: The results may help us to gain a deeper understanding of resilience and provide educational orientation on how to make students more resilient, which may be benefit in challenge overcoming for nursing students.
