The aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of positive reappraisal intervention model in changing nursing students’ attitudes toward nursing profession. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental study design (one group pretest-posttest) to achieve the study objectives.The emotional regulation questionnaire (ERQ-10) and the students’ attitudes scale were used pre and post applying the positive reappraisal intervention in a random sample of 165 undergraduate nursing students, male and female, in their sophomore level to senior level. The process of collecting student’s data took place in July 2020 – February, 2021. Results: A statically significant difference in students’ appraisal (t = -26.320, p < .0005) and their attitudes towards nursing (t = -15.460, p < .0001) were registered after applying (compared to the results before) the positive reappraisal intervention. Conclusions: The positive reappraisal coping intervention is proved as an easy model to apply and is highly effective in terms of changing students’ cognitive appraisal, which in turns changes their attitudes toward nursing. This assumption is concluded, basing on the significant increase in the level of appraisal and attitudes of nursing students after applying the intervention model; their levels are increased to about (96%) positive appraisal and about (94%) positive attitude level.

Background: Psychological resilience is one of the main foundations of mental health of individuals.  Couples who are psychologically resilient have pleasant feelings that enhance their lives and health, allowing them to adapt quickly and efficiently by maximizing their level of marital adjustment.   Aims: The purpose is to  measure if marital adjustment of married women can be predicted from their psychological resilience. Materials and Methods: A descriptive-correlational study design was used on a total sample of 150 married women. A convenience sample technique was used to select study participants.  Data were collected by adopting two separate scales, the psychological resilience scale-25 items and the marital adjustment scale-35 items. Descriptive statistics and correlational analysis were used for data analyses. Results: The results indicate that more than half of married women have high level of psychological resilience 56.7%.  Almost similar percentage of women had high level of marital adjustment 56.0%.  A statistically significant relationship was found between psychological resilience and marital adjustment among married women. Conclusion: Resilience is proved to be a crucial mental ability to mitigate stress in different situations, such as marital life. The study findings highlight the significant positive correlation between resilience and adjustment.
