Resilience in Baccalaureate Nursing Students: An Exploration
Summary
Senior nursing students show moderate resilience, with only 33.3% scoring above the threshold. Findings highlight the need for nurse educators to foster resilience for academic and professional success.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Psychosocial Nursing
- Student Resilience
Background:
- Resilience is crucial for nursing students facing significant life stressors.
- Baccalaureate nursing programs prepare students for demanding professional roles.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore resilience levels in senior-level baccalaureate nursing students.
- To identify stressors impacting nursing students' resilience.
- To understand students' lived experiences of resilience.
Main Methods:
- Online questionnaire administered to 27 senior nursing students.
- Assessment of stressors related to marriage/divorce, loss, and financial hardship.
- Measurement of resilience using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25) and qualitative questions.
Main Results:
- The mean CD-RISC-25 score was 73.26 (SD = 10.7).
- Only 33.3% of participants met the criteria for being considered resilient (score >80).
- Qualitative data revealed academic stressors and support systems influencing resilience.
Conclusions:
- Resilience is a significant factor for nursing students' well-being and academic performance.
- Nurse educators should actively promote resilience development in students.
- Enhanced resilience supports academic success and a smoother transition to professional nursing practice.

The population standard deviation is rarely known in many day-to-day examples of statistics. When the sample sizes are large, it is easy to estimate the population standard deviation using a confidence interval, which provides results close enough to the original value. However, statisticians ran into problems when the sample size was small. A small sample size caused inaccuracies in the confidence interval.

Student's t-test in Microsoft Excel is a statistical method used to compare the means of two groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other. It's commonly used to evaluate hypotheses, such as testing whether a treatment has an effect compared to a control group. Excel provides built-in functions to perform t-tests, making it accessible for users needing to conduct basic statistical analysis.

The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.4K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
