“…These could have a negative impact on nursing students' psychological well-being. However, a range of positive factors including resilience, selfefficacy, social support, friendly relationships, self-worth, self-esteem and positive emotions also could influence levels of psychological well-being (Gibbons et al, 2011;Brajsa-Zganec et al, 2017).…”

To test the differences of resilience, stress and well-being and explore the correlations between nursing students in China and United Kingdom. Globally nursing is considered a demanding profession and increasing attention has been placed on the psychological well-being and resilience of undergraduate nursing students. Limited international comparative research of the interaction between resilience, stress and wellbeing has been reported. A cross-sectional correlational design was adopted with a purposive sample of 444-second year nursing students, recruited from two universities, located in the United Kingdom and China. Resilience, stress and psychological well-being were assessed via selfreported questionnaires (Connor Davidson Resilience Scale; WHO 5 wellbeing Index; The Perceived Stress Scale) and a demographic inventory. Findings show the average scores of resilience revealed for UK and Chinese nursing students (26.70±5.11 and 25.18±5.61), stress (20.94±3.87 and 21.54±3.64) and well-being (15.43±4.38 and 14.93±4.00) respectively. Differing levels of resilience between the two countries affected by age and intention to leave was reported. The interaction between resilience and stress influences the psychological well-being of the undergraduate nursing students in both countries. Nursing students are experiencing stress, which is affecting their psychological well-being, but resilience is a protective factor. Intervention studies are required to ensure student nurses, especially younger students, are equipped with strategies to cope with stress during their education. The high prevalence of stress among nursing student is of concern. In response, educational, government and employing hospitals should develop measures and policies to support student nurses to help reduce stress and enhance resilience.

“…According to He et al, in coping with these stressors, the predictors of psychological well‐being among undergraduate nursing students include internal factors such as self‐efficacy, resilience, and mindfulness, as well as external factors such as social support. Some studies focusing on psychological well‐being have reported that well‐being is associated with resilience, self‐esteem, behavioral and affect‐focused strategies, family cohesion and social support …”

“…Some studies focusing on psychological well-being have reported that well-being is associated with resilience, self-esteem, behavioral and affect-focused strategies, family cohesion and social support. [9][10][11] Ratanasiripong and Wang, 7 in their study assessed students' wellbeing using the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, the Center for Epidemiology Studies-Depression Scale Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Revised Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale. They found that compared with students who were recruited from a comprehensive college with degree programs in education, arts, sciences, technology, and management, nursing students had higher levels of self-esteem and life satisfaction and that they reported lower levels of depression and social difficulties.…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between depression, anxiety, cognitive distortions, and psychological well‐being among nursing students. Design and Methods This descriptive, correlational, cross‐sectional study was conducted with 330 nursing students. Data were collected using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Cognitive Distortion Scale (CDS), and the Psychological Well‐being Scale (PWBS). Findings The PWBS negatively correlated with the BDI, BAI, and CDS (P < .05). Preoccupation with danger was the strongest predictor, followed by hopelessness, self‐blame, total CDS and BDI (P < .05). Practice Implications Nursing students should be evaluated for psychological well‐being to prevent psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

“…Some factors are common to both self‐esteem and dropout, including age (Hallsten et al, 2012; Shelton, 2012), gender (Gauthier & Kjervik, 1982; Hallsten et al, 2012; Shelton, 2012), socioemotional support (Brajsa‐Zganec et al, 2017; Karaca et al, 2019; Shelton, 2012; Yildirim et al, 2017), self‐efficacy (Bryer et al, 2015; Shelton, 2012) and stress or stressful events (Edwards et al, 2010; Eicher et al, 2014; L. C. Hughes et al, 2003; Lees & Ellis, 1990; Lo, 2002; Yildirim et al, 2017). But past studies have looked at self‐esteem and dropout separately.…”

Aim To describe nursing student self‐esteem prior to the influence of nursing education and to explore the relationship between self‐esteem and dropout. Design Cohort study. Methods At the beginning of their first year of study, in October 2017, 464 nursing students completed a questionnaire that assessed their self‐esteem level via Tafarodi & Swann Scale and self‐esteem profile following Mruk's model, along with sociodemographic information, state anxiety, self‐efficacy, intention to continue and social support. One year later, data on grades and re‐enrolment were collected. Multivariate analyses explored the factors influencing self‐esteem level (multiple regression), self‐esteem profile (multinomial logistic regression) and dropout (binary logistic regression). Results/Findings The mean level of self‐esteem was 50.8 (9.0), scale of 16 to 80. Forty‐nine per cent of self‐esteem profiles were classified as ‘high’, 20.1% as ‘defensive acceptance based’, 11.2% as ‘defensive achievement based’ and 19.6% as ‘low’. State anxiety (p < 0.0001), self‐efficacy about completion of the nursing programme (p < 0.0001) and self‐efficacy about internship (p < 0.0001) were associated with self‐esteem. The dropout rate was 21.5%. Self‐esteem level (p = 0.039) and academic performance (p < 0.0001) were associated with dropout. Conclusion While nursing student self‐esteem is often described as low, we know little about its baseline before entering the nursing programme and the factors that influence it. The dropout rate among first‐year nursing students is high, but self‐esteem is rarely explored as a possible explanation. We found that students had medium, and potentially fragile, self‐esteem when starting their nursing education, and that self‐esteem was associated with dropout. Impact Given that association and the impact of self‐esteem on well‐being and professional behaviour, educational institutions should foster self‐esteem both generally and in students with anxiety or low self‐efficacy. Future research should explore nursing student self‐esteem using a longitudinal mixed methods approach. Society should value nurses and nursing students.
