“…Among a sample in Indonesia, a positive correlation was found between difficulties in emotional regulation as measured by the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004) and self‐injury (Safira et al., 2022). The contribution of specific emotion regulation strategies was explored in China using latent profile analyses (Mao et al., 2021). Students categorized as having high (using a range of positive and negative emotion regulation strategies) and medium (average emotion regulation engagement) emotional regulation profiles had higher incidence of self‐injury and alexithymia than students with low (rarely engaging in emotional regulation strategies), or adaptive reaction profiles (engaging in planning and positive reappraisal instead of rumination, catastrophizing and blaming others) (Mao et al., 2021).…”

AimTo synthesize research investigating suicide, suicide attempts, self‐harm and suicide ideation in nursing and midwifery students, a group of interest due to high rates of suicide among qualified nurses. Specific areas of interest for this review included prevalence, factors which may contribute to or mitigate risk and suicide prevention interventions.DesignA systematic review was conducted, and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were followed.Data SourcesThree electronic databases were searched, and additional articles identified using hand‐searching. Studies were included if they examined suicide, suicide attempts, self‐harm or suicide ideation in nursing or midwifery students.Review MethodsStudies were deduplicated and assessed for inclusion. Data from included studies were extracted, quality of studies assessed and data synthesized, informed by study focus, design and assessed quality.ResultsAbout 46 studies of largely moderate to low quality were identified. A high‐quality study demonstrated increased risk of suicide in Swedish female nursing students, and increased risk of self‐harm in nursing students of both sexes. Prevalence of suicide ideation did not appear to differ across course year, or between nursing students and students on other programmes. Psychiatric conditions, particularly depression, were associated with suicide ideation. Three studies related to suicide prevention interventions were identified. Integration of wellness initiatives into the curriculum and peer support were preferred interventions among nursing students and teaching staff.ConclusionsTo understand the extent of suicide and self‐harm among nursing and midwifery students there is a need for further epidemiological research stratified by programme of study. To develop prevention interventions and initiatives for nursing students, high‐quality longitudinal studies should examine characteristics associated with suicide and self‐harm.ImpactCurrent findings suggest interventions could include support for students experiencing mental health difficulties, foster peer support, and help develop wellness.No patient or public contribution.

“…Indeed, nursing students with higher psychological resilience tend to adopt positive ways to cope with stress and demonstrate better clinical adaptability ( Amsrud et al, 2019 ; Li and Hasson, 2020 ). Mao et al (2022) found that psychological resilience plays a positive role in arousing positive emotions. In addition, Liu et al’s (2021) research found that psychological resilience is a protective factor and positively correlates with emotional regulation ability.…”

BackgroundSelf-regulated learning helps to improve academic performance and is an important strategy for the sustainable development of Master of Nursing Specialists. Consequently, it is relevant to identify the factors that affect self-regulated learning and analyze the correlation between them.ObjectiveThis study examined the status quo of self-regulated learning, the relationship between self-regulated learning, mindful agency, and psychological resilience, and explored whether mindful agency and psychological resilience influence self-regulation learning.MethodsChinese Master of Nursing Specialists were recruited to participate in an online survey from March to November 2022. Self-regulated learning, mindful agency, and psychological resilience were measured using three questionnaires, including the Self-Regulated Learning Scale for Clinical Nursing Practice Scale (SRLS-CNP), the Mindful Agency Scale, and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS26.0. The statistical methods included descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation analyses, and multiple linear regression.ResultsSelf-regulated learning of Chinese Master of Nursing Specialists was medium level (59.24 ± 9.33 scores). Mindful agency and psychological resilience were positively correlated with self-regulated learning (p < 0.01) and important predictors of self-regulated learning of Master of Nursing Specialists, explaining 44.6% of the variation.ConclusionMindful agency and psychological resilience affected the self-regulated learning level of Master of Nursing Specialists in clinical practice. These results will enable clinical educators to pay more attention to the personal psychological factors of Master of Nursing Specialists to improve their self-regulated learning ability through mindful agency and psychological resilience.

BackgroundThere is a solid relationship between alexithymia and suicide risk. Nonetheless, the specific impact of alexithymia's distinct subscales on suicide risk has received the attention it deserves. This article presents a comprehensive exploration of suicide risk among university students, focusing on the interconnections among alexithymia, insomnia, and suicidal behavior. Three components of alexithymia including difficulties in describing emotions or feelings (DDF), difficulties in identifying emotions or feelings (DIF), and the externally oriented thinking were considered.MethodsThe study involved 208 participants from a Persian university sample, examining the significance of incorporating both alexithymia and insomnia in suicide risk assessment and intervention planning. Insomnia was positioned as a pivotal mediator. A secure electronic link in the Telegram application was employed to collect the data. Both linear and nonlinear prediction models were used to explore potential associations among alexithymia, insomnia, and suicide risk.ResultsThe study revealed substantial positive correlations between alexithymia and suicide risk, as well as between insomnia and suicide risk. Additionally, specific components of alexithymia exhibited noteworthy links to suicide risk. The inclusion of insomnia scores in suicide risk predictions is critical, as it greatly enhances the precision of risk assessments and facilitates the design of targeted and effective therapeutic interventions. The association between alexithymia and suicide risk showed a significant relationship (r = .29, p < .01). Moreover, a significant correlation was observed between alexithymia and insomnia (r = .32, p < .01). Additionally, insomnia exhibited a significant positive correlation with suicide (r = .35, p < .01). Interestingly, DDF and DIF showed positive correlations with suicide (r = .28, p < .01; r = .33, p < .01).ConclusionThe findings carry profound implications for suicide prevention efforts, providing valuable insights to safeguard the well‐being and resilience of university students facing suicide risk challenges.
