Background:
Nursing students encounter stressful and emotionally charged situations in clinical training, which can lead to post-traumatic growth-a positive psychological change following adversity. However, factors influencing post-traumatic growth in clinical education remain underexplored.
Purpose:
To examine the associations between resilience, traumatic stress, burnout, and satisfaction with post-traumatic growth among nursing students.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study included 105 students.
Results:
Post-traumatic growth correlated positively with resilience ( r = 0.54, P < .01) and satisfaction ( r = 0.26, P < .01) and negatively with burnout ( r = -0.35, P < .01). Additionally, resilience ( β = 0.555, P < .001), traumatic stress ( β = 0.250, P = .022), and burnout ( β = -0.248, P = .031) were significantly associated with post-traumatic growth.
Conclusion:
Educators should prioritize interventions that reduce burnout, enhance resilience, and foster satisfaction. These strategies are vital to supporting nursing students' psychological well-being and promoting their capacity for professional growth.
