Abstract
This mixed methods research aimed to study resilience and the process of building resilience in the lives of first-year nursing students at a private university in Bangkok. 85 nursing students were selected for quantitative data, and 20 nursing students for qualitative data. Research instruments included an assessment of resilience, with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for reliability at .85, and semi-structured interviews, with content validity at .73. Quantitative data were analyzed by statistics and qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis.
The results revealed that the overall resilience score of nursing students was at a high level, with a mean score of 123.81 (SD = 11.51). The highest score was ‘I am’ and its mean score was 45.20 (SD = 3.74), followed by the mean score of ‘I have’ which was 39.52 (SD = 3.98), and the mean score of ‘I can’ was 39.14 (SD = 3.84). Moreover, the process of building resilience was made from the resilience components of “I am” including love for others, knowing your worth, having hopes for success, having a good job, and supporting your family, together with building resilience for “I have” meaning people inside and outside the family who supported, helped, encouraged, advised, corrected, warned, and forgave me when I made mistakes, and “I can” showing the ability to solve problems, deal with emotions, and remain tactful in waiting for the right moment to solve the problems. This study indicated that there should be programs or activities to develop resilience for nursing students.
