| Summary: | Resilience is a term commonly used to describe the ability to turn adversity into
opportunities and learn from demanding situations. Resilience has emerged as a concept
that can explain and predict students' academic success and well-being in stressful and
traumatic situations. Thus, this study was aimed to determine the level of resilience
among USM nursing students. The cross-sectional study was used were 174 nursing
students from USM Health campus involved in completing a self-administered
questionnaire adopting from Trait and State Resilience scale. The finding from this
study shows that 56 (32.2%) of the nursing students have a very high level of trait
resilience, and only 3 (1.7%) have low trait resilience. For state resilience, 81 (46.6%%)
of the nursing students have a very high level of state resilience and only 1 (0.6%) have
low state resilience. The mean trait resilience score was 66.07 (SD: 11.7) and the mean
state resilience score was 59.24 (SD: 9.3). There was a significant, moderate and
positive correlation between trait resilience scores and state resilience scores which is
tested using Pearson correlation test (Pearson’s r= 0.733, p value <0.001). In
conclusion, the study of the level of resilience shows a high level of trait resilience and
very high state resilience among USM nursing students. However, further research
should be conducted in a large sample size to compare the level of resilience among
nursing students in university and investigate other probable factors that affect the
resilience of nursing students including internal factor. |
