What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a resilience enhancement training program designed to help nursing students manage stress more effectively. This study focuses on nursing students enrolled in the Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing course at Ain Shams University during the first semester of the 2025-2026 academic year. The trial aims to see if the program can increase resilience levels and reduce perceived stress among these students by comparing those who receive the training during the semester to those who do not. The training program lasts 10 weeks and includes weekly sessions of about 90 minutes each. These sessions teach skills such as self-awareness, self-regulation, stress management, cognitive restructuring, self-compassion, gratitude, optimism, and self-esteem. Participants are randomly assigned to either the study group, which receives the training alongside their usual curriculum, or the control group, which continues the usual curriculum and receives the training only after the study ends. Participants will complete questionnaires measuring resilience and perceived stress before the program begins in October 2025 and immediately after it ends in December 2025. Attendance and program delivery will be monitored, and researchers will evaluate changes in stress and resilience scores. The study will last through the semester, with follow-up assessments immediately post-intervention to understand the training's impact on students' coping skills and stress levels.
