“…For example, a recent study showed that dissatisfied family function triggered increased occurrence of loneliness among Chinese secondary vocational school students (Yun et al, 2021 ). In addition, it also revealed that nursing students in the probation period with well‐functioning families exhibited a more positive occupational attitude towards nursing work (Li et al, 2021b ). Consistently, a Chinese study among baccalaureate nursing students in Hong Kong showed that a relationship crisis with family led to a 3.1‐fold increase in depression among this population (Cheung et al, 2016 ).…”

Aims This study aims to explore the relationship between family function, alexithymia and social anxiety among Chinese nursing students, especially to determine whether alexithymia acts as a mediator between family function and social anxiety among this social group. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods From January to March 2021, a cross‐sectional study was conducted among 204 Chinese nursing students at a nursing school of a medical university in the Northeastern Region of China. The interaction anxiousness scale, APGAR family function scale and Tronto alexithymia scale were used for measurement of social anxiety, perceived family function and alexithymia respectively. The data were subjected to correlation analysis, multiple linear regression and structural equation modelling (SEM). Results Results indicated that social anxiety score was negatively correlated with perceived family function ( r = −.232), but positively with alexithymia ( r = .307). After controlling for demographic variables, family function and alexithymia could explain 14.5% of the total variance in social anxiety. The SEM results suggested that the effect of family function on social anxiety was partially mediated by alexithymia with a 36.9% mediating effect. Conclusions This study reveals that alexithymia might partially mediate the impact of family function and social anxiety in Chinese nursing students. In this sense, improvement of alexithymia is expected to be an effective strategy to ameliorate the severity social anxiety in Chinese nursing students, especially for those with a dysfunctional family context.

“…Individuals with higher family functioning are more likely to find meaning with the help of their families [ 82 ]. Coupled with the fact that family functioning has a positive impact on career preparation and development [ 83 ], medical students are more likely to perceive a medical path as meaningful, and their desire to become doctors is also stronger. Medical students spent more time with their families during the controlled COVID-19 pandemic, and it is inevitable that some medical students will feel less family care when they return to school in the post-pandemic era.…”

Purpose This cross-sectional study aims to assess the level of academic burnout among Chinese medical students during the controlled COVID-19 pandemic and identify the potential demographic factors affecting academic burnout. It also explored the relationship between career calling, family functioning, resource support, and academic burnout, as well as investigated whether family functioning and resource support could moderate the relationship between career calling and academic burnout among Chinese medical students. Methods The study was conducted in five Chinese cities in 2021. A total of 3614 valid questionnaires were collected to assess the relationship between academic burnout, career calling, family functioning, and resource support, and determine whether demographic factors contribute to academic burnout. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to explore factors correlated with academic burnout and test the moderating effect of family functioning and resource support on the relationship between career calling and academic burnout. Results The mean academic burnout score was 3.29 ± 1.17. Sex, major, academic performance ranking, monthly living expenses, physical health, and sleep quality significantly affected academic burnout ( p < 0.05). Academic burnout was negatively correlated with career calling, resource support, and family functioning. Family functioning and resource support moderated the relationship between career calling and academic burnout. Simple slope analysis revealed that high family functioning and resource support strengthened the impact of career calling on academic burnout. Conclusions Most medical students in China experienced relatively high levels of academic burnout during the controlled COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, specific demographic factors contribute to academic burnout. Family functioning and resource support moderate the relationship between career calling and academic burnout. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing career-calling education, supplementing family functioning in the form of school support, and providing sufficient smart learning resources among medical students in the post-pandemic era.

“…Importantly, this study examines the social support pathway surrounding the physical and mental adjustment of current nursing students. Therefore, it is recommended that educational administrators in the future provide strategies such as peer strength [ 39 ], emotional support from families [ 40 , 41 ], and supportive teachers [ 42 , 43 ] to facilitate the recovery of physical and mental sources of strength for students through effective counseling and supportive training [ 44 – 46 ]. The low recovery rate of 46.80% in this study can be partly blamed on the fact that students were busy with their studies and didn’t have time to fill out the scale.…”

Background Emphasizes the state of academic stress, social support, and self-regulatory fatigue on the physical and mental development of Chinese nursing students, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between these variables and the mediating role of social support in academic stress and self-regulatory fatigue among a group of undergraduate nursing students in Heilongjiang Province, China, in order to provide a theoretical basis for working to reduce nursing students’ self-regulatory fatigue. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 1703 nursing students from various academic years completed the scales of social support, academic stress, and self-regulatory fatigue. In the end, there were 797 valid questionnaires, for a recovery rate of 46.80%. For statistical analysis, the independent t-test, Kruskal Wallis test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used. In addition, we undertake analyses using structural equation modeling. Results The bulk of nursing students, or 81.4%, are between the ages of 19 and 21. Eighty percent were females. The bulk (93.0%) was comprised of freshmen. Academic stress, social support, and self-regulatory fatigue had total scores of 111.28 ± 29.38, 37.87 ± 6.70, and 45.53 ± 5.55,respectively. Academic stress was correlated with social support and self-regulatory fatigue (all p < 0.001). Social support was an intermediate variable (p < 0.001), with an intermediate effect value of 0.122, representing 32.35% of the total effect. Conclusion Academic pressure is associated with an increase in self-regulatory fatigue, mediated by social support. Educational administrators should pay attention to the social support and resource supplement of nursing students, the adjustment and compensatory development of nursing students’ physical and mental resources, the advancement of nursing students’ internal resource adjustment, and the reduction of their self-regulatory fatigue.
