Abstract: Objective To explore the mediating effect of basic psychological needs and learning engagement on the perceived teacher support and academic resilience of nursing students,so as to provide theoretical basis for improving students' academic resilience and enhancing their learning ability. Methods From December 2023 to January 2024,950 nursing undergraduates from 5 medical colleges were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling method. General information questionnaire,perceived teacher support scale,basic psychological needs scale,learning involvement scale,and academic resilience scale of nursing students were used to investigate them. Results The average items scores of perceived teacher support,basic psychological needs,learning engagement and academic resilience of nursing undergraduates were (3.74±0.78),(4.64±0.72),(4.13±0.85) and (3.45±0.67)points,respectively. Academic resilience was positively correlated with perceived teacher support,basic psychological needs and learning engagement(all P<0.01). Basic psychological needs and learning engagement played a partial mediating role between perceived teacher support and academic resilience(β=0.037),accounting for 10.45% of the total effect,and the effect reached a significant level. Conclusion Nursing educators can start by improving teacher support,meeting the basic psychological needs of nursing undergraduates,improving learning engagement,and thus enhancing academic resilience.
