Purpose: Nursing students must cope in a complex and uncertain society. We identified the relationship between resilience and intolerance of uncertainty (IOU) in nursing students.

Methods: Data were collected from November 10 to 20, 2016, from 134 Korean nursing students (male = 21, female = 113; first-year = 39, second-year = 39, third-year = 35, and fourth-year = 21), using a questionnaire. The measures in this study included resilience and IOU.

Results: Differences in IOU relating to participants' general characteristics showed that IOU was high when the major satisfaction was rated as "middle" rather than "high." Participants' IOU was significantly negatively correlated with the following resilience subdomains: self-regulation skills, interpersonal skills, and positive tendencies. In particular, higher positive tendencies led to lower levels of IOU.

Conclusion: It is vital to devise strategies to advance nursing students' satisfaction toward their major and positive tendencies to reduce the level of IOU. This will prepare nursing students for various programs and improve their outcomes at school.
