Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the levels of self-esteem and resilience and to investigate factors affecting on the resilience among nursing students. Methods: The subjects for this study were 175 nursing students and the data were collected from November 15 to December 20, 2016. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression. Results: Subjects' mean scores of self-esteem and resilience were 3.60 and 3.78, respectively, on a 5-point scale. There were significant differences in the level of resilience among grade (F=3.30, p<.001). The post-hoc test showed that the resilience level of the fourth-grade subjects was significantly higher than that of the third-grade. There were no significant differences in the level of resilience according to gender, religion, residence type, and economic level. Self-esteem was positively correlated with resilience (r=.80, p<.001) and economic level (r=.20, p=.007). The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that self-esteem was a significant predictor for resilience (β=.81, p<.001) which explained 64.7% of the total variance. Conclusion: Self-esteem was an significant factor for nursing students' resilience. Therefore, intervention strategies should be developed for nursing students to improve their self-esteem.
