ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

Grit and resilience are related but separate concepts. Grit is a long-term commitment toward goals, and it impacts student success and academic achievement. Resilience is the ability of students to recover from stress. Both are important factors in nursing students.

METHODS:

This descriptive study included surveys measuring demographics, grit, and resilience among two cohorts of senior nursing students in their last semester and explored challenges and difficulties experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESULTS:

The mean grit score for all students was 4.0 (0.52) and the mean resilience score was 3.63 (0.73). Directed content analysis of the ten open-ended survey questions revealed three themes Impact on Education, Personal Impact, and Coping Mechanisms.

CONCLUSIONS:

Grit and resilience are important factors that can contribute to success in nursing programs and as graduate nurses in the healthcare settings.
