Evaluate and compare the impact of a resilience-based intervention on emotional regulation, grit and life satisfaction among female Egyptian and Saudi nursing students.
Nursing students should experience a comprehensive learning environment since they are mind-body-spirit creatures. Therefore, nursing education should emphasize growing students' physical, social, emotional and spiritual well-being in addition to their knowledge, skills and attitudes.
This study followed a parallel arm randomized controlled trial design. Study participants were randomly assigned to the intervention or control groups in a (1:1) ratio. It was conducted between January 2023 and the end of April 2023.
Students were randomly allocated to the eight-week resilience intervention (n= 60) or a control (n= 60) group (half of the students in each group were from each country). The intervention group received a pamphlet and attended eight weekly 15-person sessions on resilience, grit (perseverance), emotional regulation and self-care. The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Short Grit Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scales were administered pre- and immediately post-intervention.
Between pre- and post-intervention, there were significant improvements in grit (from 41.374.27 to 51.235.22 among Egyptian students with an effect size of 0.663 and from 42.974.30 to 54.103.87 among Saudi students with an effect size of 0.800), as well as mean emotional regulation (from 36.635.11 to 55.707.51 among Egyptian students with an effect size of 0.818 and from 44.606.87 to 61. With a substantial effect size of 0.850 (p0.001), Egyptian nursing students experienced a more significant rise in mean life satisfaction than Saudi nursing students (18.336.54 to 29.305.14).
Resilience-based interventions enhanced emotional regulation, grit and life satisfaction in Egyptian and Saudi female nursing students. Grit, resilience and emotional regulation should be incorporated into nurse training to equip female students with the necessary values and protective factors to succeed in their studies. Given the unique challenges and stressors that female nursing students may face, nursing programs and institutions must provide resources and support services to help students manage stress and build resilience.
评估和比较基于韧性的干预对埃及和沙特女护理学生情绪调节、毅力和生活满意度的影响。
护理学生应该体验到一个全面的学习环境,因为他们是身心一体的生物。因此,护理教育除了知识、技能和态度外,还应强调培养学生的身体、社会、情感和精神健康。
本研究采用平行臂随机对照试验设计。研究参与者以 1:1 的比例随机分配到干预组或对照组。研究于 2023 年 1 月至 4 月底进行。
学生被随机分配到为期八周的韧性干预组(n=60)或对照组(n=60)(每组一半的学生来自每个国家)。干预组收到了一本小册子,并参加了八次每周 15 人的关于韧性、毅力(毅力)、情绪调节和自我保健的课程。在干预前和干预后立即使用情绪调节问卷、短毅力量表和生活满意度量表进行评估。
在干预前和干预后之间,埃及学生的毅力(从 41.374.27 提高到 51.235.22,效应量为 0.663,沙特学生的毅力从 42.974.30 提高到 54.103.87,效应量为 0.800)以及平均情绪调节(从 36.635.11 提高到 55.707.51,埃及学生的效应量为 0.818,从 44.606.87 提高到 61.沙特学生的效应量为 0.850(p0.001)),埃及护理学生的平均生活满意度显著提高(从 18.336.54 提高到 29.305.14)。
基于韧性的干预增强了埃及和沙特女护理学生的情绪调节、毅力和生活满意度。毅力、韧性和情绪调节应该纳入护士培训,为女学生提供成功完成学业所需的价值观和保护因素。鉴于女护理学生可能面临的独特挑战和压力源,护理项目和机构必须提供资源和支持服务,帮助学生管理压力和建立韧性。
