Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Nursing students are a high-risk group for suicide. Psychiatric nurses should investigate risk factors for suicide. The aim of this study was to examine the resilience mediation effect in the relationship of suicide risk and psychological pain in nursing students. This cross-sectional study was conducted between March and May 2021 with 619 students in the Akdeniz University Faculty of Nursing. A Descriptive Information Form, the Suicide Probability Scale, the Psychache Scale and the Brief Resilience Scale were used to collect data. The structural equation model approach was used to examine the resilience mediating effect on the relation between suicide risk and psychological pain, and Path Analysis was performed. The reporting of the study was conducted according to STROBE. A semi-mediatory effect of resilience was found between psychological pain and the risk of suicide, and the effect size was determined to be broad (0.57). Resilience can be considered as a protective factor for suicide prevention in psychiatric nursing practices. Resilience has an effect on the relationship between psychological pain and suicide risk. The results of this study may guide psychiatric nursing practices in reducing and preventing suicide risk.
