Abstract
Purpose: To examine the effects of forgiveness and resilience on anxiety, depression, and stress in nursing students. Design: Cross-sectional correlational study. Methods: The convinient sample of the study consisted of 383 nursing students. Results: Significant predictors of nursing students' anxiety levels were experiencing an event where they could not forgive themselves or others and resilience. Significant predictors of nursing students' depression levels were gender, income level, experiencing an event where they could not forgive themselves or others, resilience, and self-forgiveness. Significant predictors of nursing students' stress levels were experiencing an event where they could not forgive themselves or others, resilience, and forgiveness of others. Conclusion: An increase in the level of self-forgiveness in nursing students reduced depression symptoms, and an increase in the level of forgiveness of others decreased stress symptoms. An increase in the level of resilience reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Female gender and a middle level of income reduced symptoms of depression. Interventions that increase forgiveness and resilience should be integrated into the curriculum to reduce nursing students' psychological symptoms in the context of holistic nursing.
