Effect of resilience on intolerance of uncertainty in nursing university students

Abstract

Purpose: Nursing students must cope in a complex and uncertain society. We identified the relationship between resilience and intolerance of uncertainty (IOU) in nursing students. Methods: Data were collected from November 10 to 20, 2016, from 134 Korean nursing students (male = 21, female = 113; first-year = 39, second-year = 39, thirdyear = 35, and fourth-year = 21), using a questionnaire. The measures in this study included resilience and IOU.Results: Differences in IOU relating to participants' general characteristics showed that IOU was high when the major satisfaction was rated as "middle" rather than "high." Participants' IOU was significantly negatively correlated with the following resilience subdomains: self-regulation skills, interpersonal skills, and positive tendencies. In particular, higher positive tendencies led to lower levels of IOU.Conclusion: It is vital to devise strategies to advance nursing students' satisfaction toward their major and positive tendencies to reduce the level of IOU. This will prepare nursing students for various programs and improve their outcomes at school.

The relationships between resilience of the adults affected by the covid pandemic in Turkey and Covid-19 fear, meaning in life, life satisfaction, intolerance of uncertainty and hope

According to the results of the current study, there is a significant negative relationship between intolerance to uncertainty and Covid-19 fear and resilience and this result concurs with the literature.…”

Investigation of the Relationship Between the Intolerance of Uncertainty and Levels of Health Perception Faculty of Sports Sciences Students During the Pandemic Process

“…Uncertainty occurs when perceptions and behaviors do not respond appropriately to unexpected situations. This situation decreases the ability to do things right (Jeong-Sook, 2018). Kasperson (2008) defines uncertainty as a situation in which the direction of change is relatively well known, but the importance of events and their consequences cannot be predicted with any prediction of their probability of occurrence.…”
