Abstract
Objective To explore the correlations among academic pressure, self-compassion and learning burnout in nursing college students, so as to provide a basis for promoting nursing students to learn. Methods In May 2018, we selected 303 nursing college students of first to third grade in a vocational college in Guangzhou as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the students were investigated with the Academic Pressure Scale, Self-Compassion Scale and Learning Burnout Scale. Results The scores of academic pressure, self-compassion and learning burnout were (0.40±0.14) , (3.20±0.42) and (2.82±0.51) respectively with 31.4% for the detection rate of learning burnout. Pearson correlation analysis showed that academic pressure of nursing students had a negative correlation with self-compassion (r=-0.14, P<0.05) , and had a positive correlation with learning burnout (r=0.27, P<0.05) ; self-compassion had a negative correlation with learning burnout (r=-0.59, P<0.05) . Academic pressure had an indirect impact on learning burnout mediated by self-compassion. Conclusions Nursing college students have a middle level of learning burnout. Nursing educators could relieve the academic pressure and learning burnout by improving self-compassion of students. Key words: Students, nursing; Junior college; Academic pressure; Self-compassion; Learning burnout
