Demographic Differences in Stress and Resilience.

IntroductionNursing is one of the most demanding undergraduate degrees because students must master rigorous theory while simultaneously developing hands-on clinical skills. In conflict zones, political violence magnifies these challenges during clinical training.ObjectiveTo quantify perceived stress and resilience among Palestinian nursing students during political violence and examine their relationship and demographic associations.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 310 students completed validated Arabic versions of the 29-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Completion time averaged 10–15 minutes total. Analyses included Pearson correlation, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression.ResultsMean stress was high (81.1 ± 7.3) based on established PSS cutoffs, while resilience was moderate (28.0 ± 1.8) according to CD-RISC-10 norms. A moderate positive correlation linked stress and resilience (r = 0.314, 95% CI [0.182, 0.442], p t(308) = 2.20, p = 0.030, Cohen’s d = 0.25).ConclusionFindings underscore the significant stress burden of political violence on nursing students and signal the need for targeted interventions that address both stress levels and the complex bidirectional relationship with resilience, tailored to demographic risk factors.引言：护理学是对学习者要求极高的本科专业之一，学生不仅需要扎实掌握严谨的理论体系，同时还需同步磨砺实操性临床技能。在冲突地区，政治暴力会进一步放大临床培训阶段的此类挑战。 研究目的：量化政治暴力背景下巴勒斯坦护理专业学生的感知压力与心理韧性水平，并探讨二者的关联及人口统计学特征相关因素。 研究方法：本研究为横断面研究，共310名护理专业学生完成了经过效度验证的阿拉伯语版29条目感知压力量表（Perceived Stress Scale, PSS）与10条目Connor-Davidson心理韧性量表（Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, CD-RISC-10）。整套问卷平均完成时长为10至15分钟。数据分析采用Pearson相关分析、t检验、方差分析（ANOVA）及多元回归分析。 研究结果：根据既定的PSS分界值标准，受试者的平均感知压力处于较高水平（81.1 ± 7.3）；而依据CD-RISC-10的常模，其心理韧性处于中等水平（28.0 ± 1.8）。压力与心理韧性之间存在中等程度的正相关（r=0.314，95%置信区间[0.182, 0.442]，p<0.001）；同时部分人口统计学特征与压力水平存在显著关联（t(308)=2.20，p=0.030，科恩d值=0.25）。 研究结论：本研究结果凸显了政治暴力给护理专业学生带来的沉重压力负担，并表明亟需针对人口统计学风险因素制定兼顾压力水平调控与二者间复杂双向关联的针对性干预措施。
