| Resumo: | Background Prelicensure nursing students face multiple stressors specific to their nursing education. Due to the nursing shortage, identifying methods to mitigate stress in nursing students is a priority. Adding integrative health modalities to the prelicensure nursing curriculum may encourage student resiliency and well-being. Method A 3-year prospective repeated measures cohort trial for prelicensure nursing students entering one of three tracts was conducted at a southwestern United States university. Students were followed for four semesters of the nursing program and for 6 months after graduation. Valid and reliable measures were used to explore anxiety, depressive symptoms, stress, resilience, and self-care. Results Baseline findings showed a relationship between mental health and self-care. Conclusion The findings highlight several important points including the link between self-care and mental health. A significant positive correlation was observed between engaging in self-care activities and improved mental health indicators. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(7):440–444.] |
