“…How long the benefits last from such courses remains in question, but one study found that positive effects persisted up to 7 years (Downey, 2007). Students seem to understand that courses in self-care could facilitate their success, yet these courses are not consistently required in nursing curricula (Gardner, Deloney, & Grando, 2007).…”

According to the American Nurses Association, the entire profession of nursing exists to serve and improve society's health. Thus, to become a nurse, individuals must master a body of knowledge surrounding numerous health aspects. While acquiring the unique knowledge, skills, and values of their profession, nurses form perceptions of personal adequacy in their role, known as professional or nurse self-concept. Given the centrality of health to the profession, it would seem logical that nurses would personally value health and integrate core health behaviors into their professional self-concept and everyday lives. Yet the prevailing evidence leaves in question whether nurses associate their personal health and lifestyles with their professional roles. This article explores the relationships among nurse self-concept, health status, and healthy lifestyle practices in a sample of Midwestern nurses in an attempt to better understand if nurses who integrate healthy behaviors into their everyday lives feel a stronger sense of professional adequacy relative to nurses who do not.

“…20 Nursing students, for example, have also reported increased needs for self-care as priorities for personal growth and success. 21 Students of newer generations may be influenced by these topics to a greater extent and therefore prioritise such concepts. Mental health/wellbeing was also alluded to more frequently than anticipated.…”

Objective. Students are facing increasing academic pressures, which can contribute to poor wellbeing. Current evidence on support services is weak. This study aimed to guide support initiatives by exploring students' life priorities in terms of achieving balance and the strategies used to avoid resilience depletion. Methods. Post-millennial, final-year pharmacy students (born after 1996) were introduced to the coaching concepts of the Wheel of Life and anti-goals. Students' top eight life priorities were collected and categorized. Students were asked to submit one anti-goal targeting a strategy used to avoid resilience depletion. Anti-goals were coded according to student priority areas and overarching themes were interpreted. Results. The top priorities of 110 final-year pharmacy students were: family, finance, health, friends/relationships, study, career prospects, fitness, personal growth, travel, and mental health/wellbeing. Priorities were both similar and dissimilar to traditional coaching priorities. Sixty-eight anti-goals were coded. The themes of 'being prepared' and 'being present' were strategies identified that students used to avoid resilience depletion. Conclusion.Life priorities of newer student generations may be changing to be more individualistic and include a greater focus on self-help, while still maintaining core priorities of family, health, and finance. These findings support the notion that student support mechanisms must be modernized to accommodate students' needs.
