The study aims to provide insights into the key predictors of grit both before, during and throughout a common crisis event, where other more individualised challenges may not provide these insights.
A repeated cross-sectional design.
Data were collected via an anonymous questionnaire among n = 818 (20.8% response rate) nursing students who were undertaking a three-year baccalaureate degree. Data collection occurred in the mid-year break of 2019, 2020 and 2021. The online questionnaire, which examined student demographics, personality, locus of control-4, general self-efficacy, psychological capital and grit, took 15-25 min to complete. Data were prepared and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences to undertake Structural Equation Modelling. Reporting methods adhered to the STROBE guidelines.
The pathway models of grit prior to, at the time of, and after the global pandemic varied slightly as to their predictor variables, however, neuroticism was consistently present. Locus of control and psychological capital also varied over this period with hope having a positive impact, prior to and after the initial crisis, however, negatively impacted grit afterwards. Understanding the key drivers of grit, particularly those essential at or around the time of a crisis guides our understanding of how to better support nursing or healthcare students. These insights enable a greater focus of energies towards malleable attributes that can increase grit levels and better fortify nursing students for challenges they may encounter in practice. These insights also serve to further prepare healthcare, emergency, or other professionals who may encounter regular crises. Within months of a global pandemic occurring, the key predictors of grit were shown to fundamentally alter. Each pathway model varied slightly suggesting the timing of a crisis impacts students' capacity to manage new or novel situations, with hope as a key driver of grit throughout a crisis.
本研究旨在提供在共同危机事件之前、期间和整个过程中坚韧的关键预测因素的见解，而其他更个体化的挑战可能无法提供这些见解。
重复横截面设计。
通过对 818 名（20.8%的回复率）正在攻读三年制学士学位的护理学生进行匿名问卷调查收集数据。数据收集于 2019 年、2020 年和 2021 年的年中假期进行。在线问卷检查了学生的人口统计学、个性、控制点-4、一般自我效能感、心理资本和坚韧度，完成需要 15-25 分钟。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）准备和分析数据，以进行结构方程建模。报告方法遵循 STROBE 指南。
在全球大流行之前、期间和之后，坚韧的路径模型在其预测变量方面略有不同，然而，神经质始终存在。在这段时间内，控制点和心理资本也有所不同，希望在最初的危机之前和之后都有积极的影响，但之后对坚韧有负面影响。了解坚韧的关键驱动因素，特别是在危机期间或危机前后至关重要的因素，有助于我们了解如何更好地支持护理或医疗保健学生。这些见解使我们能够更加关注可以提高坚韧水平并更好地为护理学生在实践中可能遇到的挑战做好准备的可塑属性。这些见解还有助于进一步为可能经常遇到危机的医疗保健、紧急情况或其他专业人员做好准备。在全球大流行发生后的几个月内，坚韧的关键预测因素被证明发生了根本变化。每个路径模型都略有不同，这表明危机的时间会影响学生管理新情况或新情况的能力，希望在整个危机期间都是坚韧的关键驱动力。
