Design and Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with nursing students (N = 292) studying at a nursing school of a university. The data collection instruments included a form on descriptive variables, and the PTG, psychological flexibility, and psychological resilience scales. Descriptive statistics, independent-samples t test, ANOVA, correlation, simple, and hierarchical linear regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Findings The mean scores regarding psychological flexibility, psychological resilience, and PTG were 27.56 +/- 11.06, 18.10 +/- 5.75, and 63.49 +/- 20.64, respectively. While psychological flexibility explained 36.7% of the total variance in psychological resilience, the predictive effect of seven descriptive variables, including psychological flexibility and psychological resilience, on PTG was determined as 13.4%. Practice Implications PTG, psychological flexibility, and psychological resilience may help nursing students prepare for their transition to the profession.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCOVID-19education curriculumnursing studentpandemicpsychological flexibilitypsychological resilienceArticle574187618873372865910.1111/ppc.127612-s2.0-85102963395Q2WOS:000629508700001Q2
