ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationships among social adaptation and the resilience,social support and coping style in undergraduate nursing students.Methods 758 students from two medical colleges in Shandong province were recruited by stratified random sampling method.They were assessed with China College Student Adjustment Scale (CCSAS),Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA),Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS),Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ).The data was analyzed with the structural equation mode.Results The social adaptation of undergraduate nursing students showed significantly positive association with the resilience,social support,positive coping style(r=0.113-0.607,P＜0.01),but the campus adaptation had negative association with negative coping style(r=-0.117,P＜0.01).The path analysis showed that the resilience,social support and coping style were the direct predictors of social adaptation (β=0.57,P＜0.05;β=0.0.26,P＜0.05;β=0.1,P＜ 0.05),and the resilience,active coping style played the mediating role between social support and social adaptation (β=0.31,P＜0.05;β=0.05,P＜0.05).Conclusion The social adaptation and the resilience,social support and active coping style of nursing undergraduates are closely related.
