Abstract

Aim

This study examined the gender differences in contributing factors to resilience among university nursing students, controlling for the age and year of study.

Background

Resilience is a behavioral pattern learned through personal and professional experiences. Resilience is crucial in nursing education and shapes clinical proficiency and care quality that may best target during college years, preparing nursing students for their future careers.

Design

Cross-sectional design was used in the current study

Methods

Online surveys were used to collect the data from 623 nursing students. Validated instruments assessed resilience, decision fatigue, spiritual well-being, stress overload and spiritual and religious coping. Two regression models were generated to examine gender dynamics in predicting resilience.

Results

The results showed that more than half of our sample has low resilience (n = 285, 45.7 %). The regression model significantly predicted more than 60 % of the variance in resilience among male nursing students (F(3, 234) = 123.87, p <.001), with religious well-being, negative spiritual and religious coping and stress overload being significant predictors in the model. The regression model predicting resilience among female nursing students showed that the model significantly predicted about half of the variance (F(4, 378) = 123.87, p <.001) with positive spiritual and religious coping, existential well-being, negative spiritual and religious coping and stress overload being significant contributors in the model.

Conclusion

Gender disparities echoed existing literature, advocating gender-sensitive strategies in promoting resilience. Early resilience nurturing through diverse modalities can foster a resilient nursing cohort adept at tackling multifaceted healthcare challenges.

探索护理专业学生的性别动态和复原力预测因素

背景复原力是一种通过个人和职业经历学习到的行为模式。抗逆力在护理教育中至关重要，它塑造了临床能力和护理质量，在大学期间可成为最佳目标，为护理专业学生未来的职业生涯做好准备。设计本研究采用横断面设计方法通过在线调查收集了 623 名护理专业学生的数据。经过验证的工具评估了复原力、决策疲劳、精神健康、压力超载以及精神和宗教应对。结果显示，半数以上的样本具有较低的复原力（n = 285，45.7%）。回归模型可显著预测护理专业男生复原力差异的 60% 以上（F(3, 234) = 123.87, p <.001），其中宗教幸福感、消极的精神和宗教应对以及压力超负荷是模型中的重要预测因素。预测女护士学生抗逆力的回归模型显示，该模型显著预测了约一半的方差（F（4，378）= 123.87，p <.001），积极的精神和宗教应对、存在幸福感、消极的精神和宗教应对以及压力超载是该模型的显著贡献因素。通过多种方式及早培养抗逆力，可以培养出善于应对多方面医疗挑战的抗逆力护士群体。
