ABSTRACT The objective of the study is to assess the relationship between psychological wellbeing, academic engagement, and self-regulated learning among nursing students. A descriptive correlational study design was employed.

A weak statistically significant positive correlation (pval = .392) between students’ psychological wellbeing scores and their academic self-regulated learning was noted, along with a statistically moderate significant positive correlation (pval = .519) between academic engagement and the academic self-regulated learning scores. A weak statistically significant positive correlation between students’ psychological wellbeing scores and their academic self-regulated learning, and statistically moderate significant positive correlation between academic engagement and the academic self-regulated learning scores were noted.
