Influence of grit on academic burnout, clinical practice burnout, and job ‐seeking stress among nursing students

AbstractPurposeTo investigate the influence of grit on academic burnout, clinical practice burnout, and job-seeking stress in nursing students.Design and MethodsThe participants were 302 nursing students. Data were collected from May to August 2019 using structured questionnaires for this descriptive study.FindingsA statistically significant, negative correlation was found between grit and academic burnout, clinical practice burnout, and job-seeking stress (p <  0.001). The high-grit group revealed lower probability of burnout and stress scores than the low-grit group: odds ratio (OR) = 6.051, OR = 3.621, OR = 3.302, respectively (p <  0.001).Practice ImplicationsGrit can help reduce academic burnout, clinical practice burnout, and job-seeking stress for nursing students.
