Perceived stress and resilience and their relationship with the use of mobile phone among nursing students

Abstract

Objective. The study sought to explore the relationship between levels of stress and resilience with the use of the mobile phone in nursing students. Methods. Cross-sectional study conducted with 102 nursing students from several Nursing schools in India who were invited to participate in the research. The data were gathered by using the following instruments: Perceived Stress Scale(PSS) by Cohen, The Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC), and Mobile Phone Involvement Questionnaire(MPIQ)by Walsh. Results. Most of the participants were women (94.1%), studying in the undergraduate (70.6%), with a mean age of 25.2 years. In all, 77.5% of the students had stress perception between moderate and high, 20.6% had high resilience capacity, and 25.5% were frequent mobile phone users. Perceived stress was correlated significantly and negatively with age and resilience capacity. Graduate students had greater capacity to recover than undergraduate students. Conclusion. This study indicates the negative relation of resilience capacity with stress and the use of mobile phones among nursing students. Hence, it is necessary for institutions preparing nurses to develop intervention strategies to enhance the resilience capacity, improve skills to manage stress, and healthy use of the mobile phone.Descriptors: stress, physiological; resilience, psychological; students, nursing; cell phone use; cross-sectional studies; surveys and questionnaires.How to cite this article: Sahu M, Gandhi S, Sharma MK, Marimuthu P.

A Conditional Process Model to Explain Somatization During Coronavirus Disease 2019 Epidemic: The Interaction Among Resilience, Perceived Stress, and Sex

“…Perceived stress is the cognitive appraisal of the objective stressors ( Cohen et al, 1983 ; Hewitt et al, 1992 ). Recent studies have found that lower levels of perceived stress are associated with higher resilience ( Sarrionandia et al, 2018 ; Smith et al, 2018 ; Thompson et al, 2018 ; Sahu et al, 2019 ). Moreover, it is well known that stress-related etiology is crucial for understanding somatization (e.g., Hewitt et al, 1992 ; Mischkowski et al, 2019 ).…”

Relationship of childhood trauma, psychological resilience, and family resilience among undergraduate nursing students: A cross‐sectional study

“…16 Studies have shown that low to moderate levels of resilience among Chinese nursing students 13 ; in addition, students with lower resilience capacity may be more vulnerable to adverse psychological outcomes, such as anxiety and depression. 17,18 However, few studies have characterized the effect of childhood trauma on the development of psychological resilience among nursing students. 11 Moreover, adequate redressal of childhood trauma experienced by nursing students and formulation of support strategies for developing their resilience are key imperatives to strengthen their professional practice.…”
