An integrative review of resilience among nursing students in the context of nursing education

“…Additionally, resilience was addressed as contributing to health conditions and well‐being in nursing students (Chow et al, 2018 ; Eaves & Payne, 2019 ; Elzohary et al, 2017 ; Hamadeh Kerbage et al, 2021 ; Ríos‐Risquez et al, 2016 ; Serçe et al, 2021 and Spurr et al, 2021 ). Moreover, resilience was connected to the personal growth of nursing students, as they can learn from overcoming adversities and gain a positive outlook for their future (Hasson et al, 2021 ; Liang et al, 2019 ; Lopez et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Resilience can not only be affected by various factors, as described in the previous section, but it can also influence nursing students' health and education. For instance, several studies have shown that nursing students' well‐being is affected by resilience (Abiola et al, 2017 ; Chow et al, 2018 ; Hasson et al, 2021 ; Kim, 2019 ; Kim et al, 2021 ; Labrague, 2021 ; Ríos‐Risquez et al, 2016 ; Serçe et al, 2021 ; Smith & Yang, 2017 ; Spurr et al, 2021 ). Perceived stress was another factor shown to be affected by resilience among nursing students during their nursing education (Drach‐Zahavy et al, 2021 ; Elzohary et al, 2017 ; Kim et al, 2021 ; Lekan et al, 2018 ; Sahu et al, 2019 ; Sam & Lee, 2020 ; Smith & Yang, 2017 ).…”
