About

This study aims to examine the effect of narrative group counseling applied to nursing students studying at a public university on psychological resilience. The research was used parallel group, randomized, controlled experimental design. According to the power analysis results, the sample size was determined to be at least 54 people. Due to possible losses, 25% more people were included in the study and 68 students who met the inclusion criteria were assigned to the intervention (n = 34) and control group (n = 34). In the study, the assignment of students to the intervention and control groups were made by stratified randomization(gender,class). Due to the fact that nursing department courses continued all day on weekdays, limited transportation and winter conditions, students from the intervention group (n = 7) and the control group (n = 5) did not want to continue the sessions. The implementation of the research was completed with a total of 56 students, with n=27 in the intervention group and n=29 in the control group. Personal information forms and Adult Resilience Scale were used to obtain research data. The data collection process was carried out in four stages: pre-test, post-test, 3-month follow-up test and 6-month follow-up test.
