Abstract:
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship among grit, academic resilience, and psychological well-being among nursing students. METHODS: The participants were 271 nursing students, enrolled in C university. Data were collected from September 5 to 30, 2016 and analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. RESULTS: The mean scores for academic resilience were above average. The mean score for grit and psychological well-being presented an appropriate level. Psychological well-being in nursing students was significantly correlated with academic resilience (r=.65, p<.001) and grit (r=.52, p<.001). The significant predictors of psychological well-being for nursing students were academic resilience (β=.47, p<.001), grit (β=.26, p<.001), and major satisfaction (β=.20, p<.001) which explained 53.1% of the variance in psychological well-being. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that it is necessary to develop grit and academic resilience enhancement programs to improve the psychological well-being of nursing students.
