Despite the proliferation of literature focusing on resilience, a paucity of research has attempted a thorough and accurate examination of factors that contribute to resilience among nursing students.To examine the mediating effect of self-directed learning in the relationship between caring and resilience in Chinese nursing students.A cross-sectional design.Five universities in China.Undergraduate nursing students (N = 511).The Caring Ability Inventory, Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were administered. Socio-demographic and academic data were collected from nursing students after obtaining their informed consent. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed to assess factors associated with resilience. A structural equation model with bootstrapping estimation was conducted to further explore the potential mediating role of self-directed learning in the relationship between caring and resilience.The average score of CD-RISC for nursing students was 92.96 ± 14.85. Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that caring and self-directed learning were significantly positively associated with resilience. Self-directed learning (β = 0.327, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.049-6.667, p 0.001) had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between caring and resilience in nursing students, explaining 67.1% of the total effect of caring on resilience.Interventions that enhance students' self-directed learning have the potential to enhance resilience level. Innovative pedagogical approaches, strategic reinforcement, and nursing curriculum transformation are recommended to promote self-directed learning awareness and internalize self-directed learning skills. |
