Abstract

Background

The challenges of nursing school, combined with external stressors, can impact nursing student resilience. Yet, evidence-based interventions that have the potential to impact resilience are lacking, particularly in associate degree nursing programs.

Aim

To determine how an online educational module impacts resilience levels in associate degree nursing students.

Methods

A single-group quasi-experimental study was conducted with associate degree nursing students (n = 98) who completed an online training module designed to impact resilience. Pre- and post-test resilience levels were measured with the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 10).

Results

The Wilcoxon signed-rank showed a statistically significant increase in resilience levels after students completed the online training, Z = 2.32, n = 98, p = 0.02, with a small effect size (r = .17).

Conclusions

An online resilience training module can provide associate degree nursing students with techniques to build resilience during nursing school and equip them with tools to handle complex workplace challenges. The study findings add to the growing evidence on which interventions improve nursing student resilience.

提高护理专业学生的适应能力：在线培训模块的影响

护理学校的挑战，加上外部压力因素，会影响护理学生的适应能力。然而，有可能影响恢复力的循证干预措施缺乏，特别是在副学士护理课程中。目的确定在线教育模块如何影响副学士护理学生的恢复能力水平。方法采用单组准实验研究方法，对98名完成影响心理弹性在线培训模块的专科护理学生进行研究。采用Connor-Davidson弹性量表（CD-RISC 10）测量测试前和测试后的弹性水平。结果Wilcoxon sign -rank显示，学生完成在线培训后心理弹性水平显著提高，Z = 2.32, n = 98, p = 0.02，效应量较小（r = 0.17）。结论在线弹性训练模块可以为护理专科学生提供在护理学校期间建立弹性的技巧，并为他们提供应对复杂职场挑战的工具。越来越多的证据表明，干预措施可以提高护理学生的适应能力，这项研究结果进一步证明了这一点。
