[Factors associated with resilience in undergraduate nursing students in Lebanon: an explanatory study]
Introduction:
It is well recognized that the nursing profession is stressful. This is due to the pressure of studies and internships during the three years of training, which could affect the health and academic results of nursing students. However, some students react positively to stress and are considered resilient, since they bounce back and rise to the challenges set in the face of this stress. Empirical studies have identified academic, clinical, personal, and social factors related to the resilience of nursing students.
Method:
The objective of this descriptive correlational study was to explore some of the factors related to student resilience in the undergraduate nursing program at a university in Beirut. The data was collected using a standardized interview guide combining four North American instruments and the demographic academic profile of the students.
Results:
More than half of the students are resilient, and, among all the factors, only the feeling of self-efficacy is a significant predictor of the nursing students' resilience.
Discussion:
This study offers concrete guidelines for a nursing intervention promoting the retention of students in nursing training.
