“…Grit has proven vital in healthcare, education, and the workplace ( Eskreis-Winkler et al, 2014 ) and is a significant predictor of long-term achievement and success ( Aguirre-Urreta and Hu, 2019 ). Many studies have shown that grit plays an essential role in nurses’ academic performance, mental health, work ability, job satisfaction, and overall performance, which may also reduce staff turnover rate ( Jeong et al, 2019 ; Sellers, 2019 ; Halperin and Eldar, 2021 ; Oducado, 2021 ; Cho and Kim, 2022 ; Yang and Kim, 2022 ).…”

IntroductionNurse job satisfaction, defined as the positive emotional state experienced by nurses regarding their profession, factors related to job performance and outcomes, can affect their career planning and development. Grit, defined as an individual’s relentless effort and enduring enthusiasm for long-term goals, is essential for developing nurses’ competence, increasing job satisfaction, and reducing the willingness to leave the profession. The present study aims to explore the correlation between grit and job satisfaction, whether perceived stress could act as a mediator of the relationship and whether optimism moderated the mediating effect among nurses working in hospitals in southwest China.MethodsThe cross-sectional study utilized self-reported data gathered from 709 nurses in southwest China. To analyze mediating and moderating effects, bootstrapping regressions were conducted.ResultsPerceived pressure mediated the relationship between grit and job satisfaction (indirect effect = 0.195, 95%CI [0.145,0.250]). Furthermore, moderated mediated analysis revealed that optimism moderated grit’s impact on perceived stress (moderating effect = 0.036, 95% CI [0.010, 0.061]).DiscussionLow levels of grit might reduce nurses’ job satisfaction as their perceived stress levels increase. However, optimism among nurses could diminish this negative effect. Nursing managers should actively seek to improve the grit and optimism of hospital nurses while reducing their perceived pressure, thereby improving job satisfaction.

“…Grit is associated with student achievement in mathematics (Flanagan & Einarson, 2017) and ninth grade students. In ethnic minority communities, grit is significantly correlated with student achievement in the language (Zhao & Wang, 2023), and weakly correlated in nursing (Halperin & Eldar Regev, 2021). The research shows that grit correlates with student academic achievement in various variations (Jiang et al, 2019).…”

Grit is a non-cognitive factor that is crucial in achieving success in education. The purpose of this study is to verify differences in grit and its two aspects (consistency and perseverance) between gender and ethnicity in Islamic higher education students. The study also verified the correlation between parents' education levels, family economic background, grit total, consistency of interest, and perseverance of effort. This research is field research with a quantitative approach. The participants amounted to 267 students of Antasari State Islamic University. Convenience techniques and snowballing sampling determined participants. Researchers used descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis H, and Spearman's Rank Correlation test to analyze the data. The results showed no significant differences in total grit levels and its aspects between gender and ethnicity (Sig.>0.005). Dayak ethnic minorities are more persistent and grittier than the majority ethnicity, Banjar, but not significant. Parental education does not correlate with total grit and both aspects. The influence of gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic background on grit is also determined by the type of education students attend.

“…[ 29 ] A high level of achievement motivation can enable nursing students to acquire more positive emotions and maintain a high expectation level for completing tasks, so as to prompt them to complete tasks in time and reduce the occurrence of procrastination. [ 30 ] It is suggested that nursing educators can set up reward programs to stimulate students’ learning enthusiasm and reduce procrastination behavior by enhancing achievement motivation. In addition, teachers should guide students to make plans according to the time and the difficulty of tasks to improve their time management ability, and gradually enhance the sense of achievement through the progress of tasks completed.…”

Procrastination behavior is prevalent among nursing students in China. However, little research has examined how mindfulness is associated with procrastination behavior, via achievement motivation among nursing students. The aims of this study were to investigate the relationship between procrastination behavior, mindfulness and achievement motivation, and explore the mediating effect of achievement motivation on mindfulness and procrastination behavior of nursing students. A correlational cross-sectional study was performed using an online questionnaire. The study was conducted from January to March 2022 among 632 students from 1 university. A general information questionnaire, Achievement Motivation Scale, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire and General Procrastination Scale (GPS) were used for investigation. Calculations were performed using SPSS Statistics, version 25. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and process plug-in mediation effect analyses were used to analyze the data. A total of 640 questionnaires were issued and 632 valid questionnaires were finally recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.75%. The GPS score of 632 nursing undergraduates was (55.80 ± 6.57), achievement motivation scale score was (−2.49 ± 8.73), Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire score was (118.21 ± 18.39). Achievement motivation and psychological capital were all negatively correlated with procrastination behavior ( r = −0.291, −0.483; P < .01). Achievement motivation played a partial mediating role between mindfulness and procrastination behavior, and the mediating effect accounted for 59.82% of the total effect. The procrastination behavior of nursing undergraduates is at the middle level. Mindfulness can influence procrastination behavior through achievement motivation. Measures are needed to decrease the procrastination behavior by developing mindfulness programs to increase their achievement motivation.
