Hardiness, self-efficacy, and positive academic emotion positively impact nursing students' self-regulated learning (SRL) ability. Emphasizing these factors in nursing education enhances SRL and lifelong learning.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Nursing Education
Background:
- Self-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial for nursing students' academic success and lifelong professional development.
- Understanding the psychological factors influencing SRL is essential for effective pedagogical interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationships between hardiness, self-efficacy, positive academic emotion, and SRL ability in undergraduate nursing students.
- To identify the direct and indirect effects of these psychological constructs on SRL.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional survey design was employed.
- Data were collected from 395 Chinese undergraduate nursing students using questionnaires.
- Structural equation modeling was utilized to analyze the relationships between variables.
Main Results:
- SRL ability was significantly and positively correlated with hardiness, self-efficacy, and positive academic emotion.
- Self-efficacy and positive academic emotion demonstrated direct positive effects on SRL ability.
- Hardiness indirectly influenced SRL ability through self-efficacy, positive academic emotion, and a chain mediation effect.
Conclusions:
- Higher levels of hardiness, self-efficacy, and positive academic emotion are associated with enhanced SRL ability in nursing students.
- These psychological factors are key targets for improving nursing students' SRL and fostering lifelong learning.
- The findings offer valuable insights for curriculum development and educational strategies in nursing programs.
