Assessing the levels of resilience, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction of NPs and determining if years of experience as an NP and educational level were associated with those variables were the focuses of this study.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was utilized. Participants included NP members of a state professional nursing organization and NPs employed in a large academic healthcare system. Multiple demographic variables, including personal and work-related variables, and resilience, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction were measured. Resilience was measured using the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 10) and the Predictive 6-Factor Resilience Scale (PR6). Self-efficacy was measured by the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Job satisfaction was measured by a two-item, 5-point Likert scale created by the investigators.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among the 128 NP participants, on the PR6, Doctor of Nursing (DNP)-educated NPs had significantly higher scores on the dimensions of vision, tenacity, and health and on overall mean score. Resilience as measured by the CD-RISC 10, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction were also higher for DNP-educated participants, but their scores did not differ significantly from those with a Master of Science in Nursing degree. Resilience and self-efficacy were positively correlated. Years of experience as an NP and age were not significantly associated with resilience, self-efficacy, or job satisfaction as measured by the PR6, CD-RISC 10, GSES, or job satisfaction scale.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Resilience and self-efficacy are strongly associated and may complement and strengthen each other. Providing NPs with tools to strengthen their ability to remain resilient during challenging times is critically important and may prevent NP turnover.</p>","PeriodicalId":51812,"journal":{"name":"NURSE PRACTITIONER","volume":"50 4","pages":"22-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143702121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Childhood and adolescent obesity stems from genetic, environmental, and socioecological factors, indicating the need for an evolving approach to pediatric obesity management. The updated 2023 American Academy of Pediatrics guideline for evaluation and treatment of pediatric obesity advocates for a child-centric strategy, considering health equity, racism, weight bias stigmatism, and adverse childhood experiences. Management includes intensive health behavior and lifestyle treatment, partnership with communities to build comprehensive treatment programs, promotion of early intervention, consideration of pharmacotherapy for children age 12 years and older, selective use of bariatric surgery, screening for and treatment of comorbidities, integration of mental health treatment, and use of motivational interviewing to engage patients in their care. Pediatric primary care providers play a key role in identification of obesity and encouragement of obesity treatment. Proactive management of childhood obesity benefits individuals, families, and the nation. Early intervention holds the promise of substantial cost savings on obesity-related healthcare.
