About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if a resilience enhancement training program can help nursing students manage stress more effectively. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does the program improve nursing students' resilience levels?
Does the program lower nursing students' perceived stress levels?
Researchers will compare students who receive the training during the semester with students who do not receive it until after the study is completed to see if the training has an effect.
Participants will:
1. Complete questionnaires on resilience and stress before and after the training. 2. Attend a structured resilience enhancement training program for 10 weeks alongside their usual studies. 3. Be part of either the study group (receiving the training first) or the comparison group (receiving the training after study completion).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in Perceived Stress Score
Perceived stress will be measured using the Perceived Stress Scale. The scale consists of 29 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = never to 4 = very often), yielding a total score range of 0 to 116. Higher total scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress (worse outcome).
Time frame
Baseline (October 2025) and immediately post-intervention (December 2025)Secondary outcomes

Change in Resilience Score
Resilience will be assessed using the full Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. This validated instrument contains 25 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = not true at all to 4 = true nearly all the time), giving a total score range of 0 to 100. Higher total scores indicate greater psychological resilience (better outcome).
