Being aware of elevated levels of student psychological distress by nursing faculty, and subsequently responding to it, may diminish nursing students' experience of negative mental health well-being.
Relationships between perceived faculty support, resiliency, and the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among undergraduate nursing students were explored.
An exploratory mixed-methods design was used for this descriptive, cross-sectional study. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21, Brief Resilience Scale, Perceived Faculty Support Scale, a demographic questionnaire, and open-ended questions were used to collect data. A convenience sample of 989 undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students from across the United States completed the surveys.
Study results revealed resilience strategies and psychological and functional supportive faculty behaviors and actions are substantial predictors of lower depression, anxiety, and stress in undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students.
Investments in faculty development to support nursing student resilience may reduce the degree of negative mental health well-being that students exhibit related to nursing education and promote their successful transition to nursing practice.

探讨本科护理学生感知到的教师支持、适应力与抑郁、焦虑和压力发生率之间的关系。
本研究采用描述性、横断面设计的探索性混合方法。使用抑郁、焦虑和压力量表 21 项、简易韧性量表、感知教师支持量表、人口统计学问卷和开放式问题收集数据。来自美国各地的 989 名本科护理学士便利样本完成了调查。
研究结果表明,韧性策略以及心理和功能支持性教师行为和举措是本科护理学士学生中较低抑郁、焦虑和压力的重要预测因素。
