Nurse leaders depend upon resiliency skills to support their practice. It is important to provide opportunities for nursing students to learn, practice, and observe these skills, which are needed to navigate challenging work environments. This article describes the impact of a resiliency curricular component in a grant-funded BSN elective course, Concepts of Primary Care. Program evaluation was performed using a pre/posttest format and 2 surveys, the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and the Brief Resilience Coping Scale (BRCS). Three open-ended questions were administered upon completion of the elective course. A concurrent nested design was utilized with a thematic analysis undertaken to analyze qualitative data. Analysis of quantitative data was performed using descriptive statistics. Undergraduate BSN students showed an overall increase in resiliency (BRS: P = .112; BCRS: P = .064), and responses to open-ended questions supported the ability to apply and analyze most of the resiliency skills presented during the didactic portion of the elective course. This course promoted the development and refinement of undergraduate BSN student resilience skills. Integration of resilience content in the primary care course also supported student professional development. The addition of resiliency concepts and skills into undergraduate nursing curricula is recommended to enhance the ability of novice nurses to address work-related challenges and promote career satisfaction for the future.
护理领导者依靠适应力技能来支持他们的工作。为护理学生提供学习、实践和观察这些技能的机会非常重要，这些技能是在充满挑战的工作环境中导航所必需的。本文描述了在一项基于拨款的 BSN 选修课程“初级保健概念”中，包含适应力课程内容的影响。使用预/后测试格式和 2 个调查（简短适应量表[BRS]和简短适应应对量表[BRCS]）进行了方案评估。在完成选修课程后，还进行了 3 个开放性问题的调查。采用了同期嵌套设计，并进行了主题分析以分析定性数据。使用描述性统计分析了定量数据。本科 BSN 学生的适应力总体上有所提高（BRS：P =.112；BRCS：P =.064），对开放性问题的回答支持了在选修课程的理论部分中提出的大多数适应力技能的应用和分析能力。本课程促进了本科 BSN 学生适应力技能的发展和完善。将适应力内容纳入初级保健课程也支持了学生的专业发展。建议将适应力概念和技能纳入本科护理课程，以提高新手护士应对工作相关挑战的能力，并为未来促进职业满意度。
