Abstract

 


Objective: This study aimed to test the effects of a resilience-enhancing program on psychological well-being among nursing students.


Materials and methods: The sample of this quasi-experimental research consisted of 62 first-year nursing students in Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Phra-Phutthabat, who met the inclusion criteria. They were randomly selected and were equally divided into an experimental group (n=31) and a control group (n=31). The research instruments included the demographic data form, the psychological well-being inventory, and the Resilience Enhancing Program. The data collection was conducted from May to August, 2022. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, two-way repeated measure ANOVA, and multiple comparisons by Bonferroni were employed to analyze the data.


Results: The results revealed that the experimental group had statistically significantly higher mean scores of psychological well-being than the control group at the posttest (p<.01) and one-month follow-up period (p<.001). Within the experimental group, mean scores of psychological well-being at the pretest, posttest, and one-month follow-up period were significantly different (p<.001).


          Conclusions: The resilience-enhancing program was effective at increasing the psychological well-being of nursing students.
