Background: Understanding the paths that influence professional commitment among nursing students is important for helping students continue the nursing profession after graduation. The paths between the teaching behaviours of clinical teachers (TBCT) and professional commitment were unknown.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine whether psychological well-being mediated the relationships between the teaching behaviours of clinical teachers and professional commitment of nursing students. Moreover, we investigated whether the mediating effects of psychological well-being were moderated by optimism.
Design: A cross-sectional design was conducted.
Setting And Participants: A total of 318 students from 24 hospitals in 13 cities in northern, north-eastern, and eastern China were included in the study.
Methods: The instruments used in this study included the scale of teaching behaviours of clinical teachers, a brief inventory of thriving (measuring psychological well-being), a life orientation test (measuring optimism), and a professional commitment scale. The PROCESS macro for SPSS was used to perform mediation analysis and moderated mediation analyses.
Results: Psychological well-being of nursing students partially mediated the relationships between the teaching behaviours of clinical teachers and professional commitment of nursing students. Also, optimism moderated the indirect effect of this mediation model. The indirect effect of clinical teachers' teaching behaviours was stronger for nursing students with low levels of optimism.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that the teaching behaviours of clinical teachers and psychological well-being promote professional commitment. In addition, the mediation of psychological well-being between the teaching behaviours of clinical teachers and professional commitment was conditional on different levels of optimism. Clinical teachers should pay special attention to students with low levels of optimism because teaching behaviours of clinical teachers exert more influence on those students' professional commitment.

Water scarcity is a foremost environmental concern and is expected to hasten in the forthcoming years due to severe fluctuations in weather patterns worldwide. The present work was designed to explore the potential role of alpha-tocopherol (α-Toc), a form of vitamin E, on the morphological, physio-biochemical, and cellular antioxidant responses of two radish genotypes grown under drought conditions (38 ± 3% of field capacity). The individual and combined applications of α-Toc (100 ppm) were used as T0- Control, T1- Control + TF (TF-alpha-tocopherol), T2- Drought (D), and T3- D + TF with three replications.
