OBJECTIVES
To assess resilience among nursing students toward the stereotypical image of the nursing profession.
METHODOLOGY
A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed and a convenient sampling technique was used to recruit nursing students from various nursing colleges in Peshawar. The duration for this study was three months. A Conner-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISK) was used for the sample of 262 BS Nursing students to assess the resilience toward the stereotypical image of the nursing profession.
RESULTS
The study revealed that the mean resilience score was 52.24 out of 72±9.9. On the basis of quartile, low resilience was 0% (equal or lower than 25 percentile), moderate was 51.9% (greater than 25 but lower than 75 percentile), and high resilience was 48.1% (greater than 75 percentile).
CONCLUSION
This study concluded that the resilience among nursing students regarding nursing image was mostly at moderate level. On the basis of result of this study we recommend different strategies to be adopted as to assess and build resilience among nursing students toward the image of the nursing profession.
