Abstract samenvatting
korte
Background: University nursing students experience higher levels of academic stress than those of other
disciplines. Academic stress leads to psychological distress and has detrimental effects on well-being. The ability to
overcome such adversity and learn to be stronger from the experience is regarded as resilience. Resilience is found
to have an impact on learning experience, academic performance, course completion and, in the longer term,
professional practice. Resilience and positive coping strategies can resist stress and improve personal well-being.
However, the relationship between resilience and well-being remains unexplored in nursing students, which are
significant attributes to their academic success and future career persistence.
Methods: The study was a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design. Inclusion criteria for recruitment was
students studying pre-registration nursing programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The 10-
item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) and World Health Organisation-5 Well-Being Index (WHO-5)
were used to measure resilience and psychological well-being respectively.
Results: A convenience sample of 678 university nursing students was recruited from a university. The mean score
of CD-RISC-10 was 24.0. When comparing the resilience levels of undergraduate and postgraduate students, the
total scores were found to be 23.8 and 24.9 respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the
groups (p = .020). With regard to perceived well-being, the mean score of WHO-5 was 15.5. There was no significant
difference between undergraduates and postgraduates (p = .131). Bivariate analysis showed that self-reported
resilience had a medium, positive correlation with perceived well-being (r = .378, p = .000), and senior students had
significantly higher level of perceived well-being than junior students (16.0 vs 15.1, p = .003). Multivariable regression
analysis on perceived well-being indicated that self-reported resilience emerged as a significant predictor of
perceived well-being (regression coefficient B = 0.259; p < .001).
Conclusions: The results demonstrate that nursing students with a high level of resilience have better perceived
well-being, and the level of resilience of postgraduates was significantly higher than that of undergraduates.
Therefore, educational strategies should be developed in the nursing curriculum and a supportive learning
environment should be created to foster resilience in the students.
