Abstract

Introduction: Globally, nursing is perceived as a demanding and stressful profession. In recent studies, the psychological well-being of employed nurses has been given considerable attention. Considering that nursing students are the future of the nursing workforce; it is important that we increase our understanding of the importance of resilience in this population. Aim: This study examines turnover intention and burnout among Palestinian nursing students and how resilience and sociodemographic factors affected these outcomes. Methods: The study included 409 nursing students from three major institutions in the West Bank-Palestine. The data was collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Burnout scale, as well as key demographic data, including the intention to leave the nursing profession in the future. Results: Participants displayed moderate levels of resilience and burnout, and the analysis revealed a negative correlation between resilience and burnout (r = -0.35). The study findings indicated that almost half of the students were not satisfied with their nursing major and half of them intended to leave the nursing profession in the future. Higher resilience was associated with intention to stay in the nursing profession, male gender, satisfaction with nursing major, employment, living on campus, receiving support from friends and family, and studying a week or more before the exam. While intentions to leave nursing, lack of support from family and friends, higher academic levels lower GPAs, studying an hour or less per day, and studying one day before an exam were all associated with higher burnout. Conclusion: Effective measures should be taken to reduce students' burnout and turnover intention.
