Article Abstract

Resilience is a term commonly used to describe the ability to turn adversity into opportunities and learn from demanding situations. There seems to be a need to identify support strategies for developing resilience among nursing students in order to strengthen their professional practice. The aim of this review was to synthesize qualitative research exploring how resilience can be developed in nursing students. The review question was: How can nurse educators support students' development of resilience? Relevant publications were identified by systematic data searches in May 2017 in the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, PubMed, PsycInfo, Webb of Science, ProQuest, Academic and Eric. Eight qualitative research studies in English that explored resilience in the context of nursing education were included. Five descriptive themes emerged: Demonstrating caring relationships, Recognizing resources and power, Acknowledging uncertainty, Reframing burdensome experiences and Adjusting frames for learning. In addition, two overarching analytic themes emerged: An educational culture of trustworthiness and Readiness to care. In conclusion, a learning culture characterized by trustworthiness appears to be a catalyst for developing resilience in nursing students. A variety of support strategies in nursing education contribute to resilience in nursing students, thus influencing their readiness to care.

Disabled people face social and environmental barriers to higher education, yet there is a dearth of clear, publicly available information on university websites related to accessibility and disability inclusion. Our team previously developed disability inclusion scores for the top 50 universities offering undergraduate programs based on funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and found low scores overall. Building on that, this study examines the relationship between disability inclusion (as scores ranging from 0 to 100 points) and six university characteristics for these 50 universities.

Background: Earlier researchers have explored the individual impacts of locus of control and self-esteem on academic as well as nonacademic success. But limited attention was given to their interplay within a university context. By integrating these variables into a unified framework, a more comprehensive understanding of the learning processes of university students can be achieved, which can further help in developing strategies to improve the overall learning outcome and come out as successful individuals.
