Abstract

To analyze how family resilience mediates the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological resilience in undergraduate nursing students. A cross-sectional survey design was used to investigate 698 nursing undergraduate students (mean age: 18.77 ± 0.86 years) using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Family Resilience Assessment Scale, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. The mediating effect of family resilience was estimated using structural equation modeling and the bootstrap method. Both childhood trauma and family resilience were associated with psychological resilience. Family resilience showed a partial mediating effect between childhood trauma and psychological resilience, accounting for 21.5% of the total effect. Our findings may help inform family interventions to improve the psychological resilience of nursing students, especially for those with childhood trauma experience.
