Background:
Research on the relationship between stress, professional commitment, and resilience among nursing students is lacking.
Purpose:
To examine the mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between stress and professional commitment among nursing students during their fundamental nursing practicum.
Methods:
A cross-sectional design was used. Nursing students who were aged 17 to 20 years and had completed fundamental nursing practicum within 1 week were recruited. The survey covered stress, resilience, and professional commitment. The mediation analysis was conducted using the PROCESS macro with a bootstrap approach.
Results:
This study recruited 485 nursing students. Stress was significantly negatively correlated with resilience and professional commitment, whereas resilience was significantly positively correlated with professional commitment. Furthermore, resilience partially mediated the relationship between stress and professional commitment.
Conclusions:
Appropriate interventions should be implemented to help nursing students reduce stress and improve their resilience, which can thus enhance their professional commitment to the nursing profession.
