Mediating effect of professional identity on the relationship between mental resilience and moral courage of nursing undergraduates

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To understand the current situation of moral courage among nursing undergraduates,and to explore the mediating effect of professional identity on the relationship between mental resilience and moral courage. Methods From July to September 2023,the general socio-demographic questionnaire,professional identity questionnaire for nursing student(PIQNS),Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC),and nurses moral courage scale(NMCS) were applied to 352 nursing undergraduates from three colleges and universities within the Anhui Province and the Chongqing City,and the data were analyzed. Results The scores of mental resilience,professional identity and moral courage of 352 nursing students were (62.32±13.36),(56.99±10.21) and (74.50±12.19)points,respectively,and there were positive correlations between the three(all P<0.01),and the mediating effect of professional identity on mental resilience and moral courage was 0.162,accounting for 29.14% of the total effect. Conclusion The moral courage of nursing undergraduates in three universities in Anhui Province and Chongqing City is at a medium level,and professional identity plays a mediating role in the relationship between mental resilience and moral courage. Nursing educators can reasonably exercise the mental resilience of nursing undergraduates and enhance their sense of professional identity,so as to improve their moral courage level and improve the quality of clinical nursing in the future.
