Abstract

Introduction: The Resilience Quotient (RQ), or psychological strength, serves as a mental immune system that helps individuals cope with challenges and prevents the deterioration of their mental health.

Research objectives: This study aimed to compare the resilience quotient of fourth-year nursing students at the Faculty of Nursing, Chaiyaphum Rajabhat University, before and after undergoing psychiatric and mental health nursing practicum.

Research methodology: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted to assess changes in resilience among 30 fourth-year nursing students (Cohort 14, academic year 2024). Data collection tools included a personal information questionnaire and the Resilience Quotient Assessment. The intervention consisted of activities designed to enhance psychological resilience, conducted over a three-week period. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the paired sample t-test to compare pre- and post-intervention RQ scores.

Results: 1) The overall and subscale levels of resilience among nursing students, both before and after psychiatric nursing practicum, were within a the normal range. 2) Emotional stability, encouragement, and problem-solving dimensions of resilience significantly increased after the psychiatric nursing practicum at the .05 level. 3) The total resilience of nursing students after the practicum was significantly higher than before the practicum at the .01 level.

Conclusions: Mental health empowers senior nursing students to effectively deal with difficult situations and cope better with problems.

Implications: Activities that promote resilience should be incorporated into the development of students to strengthen their mental well-being, enabling them to recover and continue living effectively in all situations.
