简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if a resilience enhancement training program can help nursing students manage stress more effectively. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does the program improve nursing students' resilience levels?
Does the program lower nursing students' perceived stress levels?
Researchers will compare students who receive the training during the semester with students who do not receive it until after the study is completed to see if the training has an effect.
Participants will:
- Complete questionnaires on resilience and stress before and after the training.
- Attend a structured resilience enhancement training program for 10 weeks alongside their usual studies.
- Be part of either the study group (receiving the training first) or the comparison group (receiving the training after study completion).
详细描述
This quasi-experimental study is designed to evaluate the effect of a resilience enhancement training program on perceived stress among nursing students. Nursing students commonly face high academic and clinical demands, long working hours, and frequent exposure to emotionally challenging situations. Such pressures often lead to elevated stress levels, anxiety, and potential burnout, which can impair learning, professional growth, and the quality of patient care. Evidence from prior studies (e.g., meta-analyses of stress-management interventions in healthcare students) indicates that programs focused on resilience building-such as cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices-can strengthen coping skills, reduce perceived stress, and enhance well-being.
Low resilience has been associated with higher susceptibility to stress and psychological distress. Interventions that explicitly teach resilience skills may empower students to adapt more effectively and sustain academic performance. Building on this evidence, the present study aims to:
- Assess baseline resilience and perceived stress levels among nursing students.
- Develop and implement a 10-week structured resilience enhancement training program tailored to the needs of nursing students.
- Evaluate the impact of the program on resilience and perceived stress by comparing outcomes between a study group and a control group.
Hypothesis:
The resilience enhancement training program will significantly increase resilience levels and reduce perceived stress levels among nursing students.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Group - Resilience Enhancement Training Program
Participants in this group will receive the Resilience Enhancement Training Program in addition to their usual curriculum. The program consists of 10 weekly sessions designed to improve resilience and reduce perceived stress. Sessions include self-awareness, self-regulation, stress and coping strategies, cognitive restructuring, self-compassion, gratitude practice, optimism training, self-esteem, and a wrap-up with evaluation.
干预措施: Resilience Enhancement Training Program (Behavioral)
Control Group - Usual Curriculum
Participants in this group will continue with their usual nursing curriculum during the study period and will not receive the training program. To ensure fairness, the Resilience Enhancement Training Program will be offered to this group after the completion of the study.
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Perceived Stress Score
时间窗: Baseline (October 2025) and immediately post-intervention (December 2025)
Perceived stress will be measured using the Perceived Stress Scale. The scale consists of 29 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = never to 4 = very often), yielding a total score range of 0 to 116. Higher total scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress (worse outcome).
