Abstract:

Objective To investigate the current status of professional identity and psychological resilience among nursing students,analyze the correlation between these two factors,and provide reference for enhancing the professional identity of nursing students. Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 1 263 nursing students from three universities in Chengdu from April to August 2023 as the research subjects. A general information questionnaire,professional identity scale,and psychological resilience scale were used for data collection and analysis. Results The total score of professional identity for 1 263 nursing students was (57.9±11.67)points,with an average score for each item of (3.41±0.69)points. The total score of psychological resilience was (79.99±14.57)points,with an average score for each item of (3.33±0.61)points. There were statistically significant differences in the professional identity scores of nursing students among different genders,ages,whether they were only children,whether they were student cadres,and training levels(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of psychological resilience among nursing students of different genders and whether they were student cadres(all P<0.05). The total scores and dimensions of professional identity were positively correlated with the total scores and dimensions of psychological resilience(r=0.152-0.480,all P<0.01). Gender,being the only child,training level,self-reliance,and psychological resilience were the main influencing factors of professional identity among nursing students(all P<0.05). Conclusion The professional identity and psychological resilience of nursing students are at a moderate level and show a significant positive correlation. It is suggested to comprehensively improve nursing students' professional identity from multiple dimensions,including the individual,school education,medical institution environment,and social environment.
