ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinde psikolojik dayanıklılık ve benlik saygısı arasındaki ilişkide öznel zindeliğin aracı rolünü belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, tanımlayıcı ve kesitseldir. Rassal örneklem yöntemi ile belirlenen 462 hemşirelik bölümü öğrencisi ile 01-30.04.2020 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anketler öğrencilere COVID-19 pandemisi nedeniyle, çevrimiçi ortamda ulaştırılmıştır. Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği, Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği ve Öznel Zindelik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler, SPSS 21 ve AMOS 22 programlarında Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM) ile analiz edilmiştir. Etki düzeyleri, boostrap (5000) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Psikolojik dayanıklılık, öznel zindelik ve benlik saygısı puan ortalaması sırasıyla 3,10±0,37; 4,99±1,20 ve 2,63±0,79'dur. Psikolojik dayanıklılık, öznel zindelik ve benlik saygısı arasındaki korelasyon katsayısı istatistiksel açıdan anlamlıdır (p<0,01). Psikolojik dayanıklılığın benlik saygısı üzerinde doğrudan ve dolaylı etkisinin (sırasıyla β= ,490; β=,219) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öznel zindelik kısmi aracı rol oynamıştır. Sonuç: Sonuçlar, hemşirelik öğrencilerinde psikolojik dayanıklılık ve öznel zindeliğin benlik saygısını önemli düzeyde etkileyebileceğini göstermiştir. İlişkiye öznel zindelik kısmi aracılık etmiştir. Öğrencilerin gelişmiş psikolojik dayanıklılığının yanısıra öznel olarak zinde olmaları benlik saygılarını önemli ölçüde geliştirecektir. Ayrıca çalışma, benlik saygısının altta yatan mekanizmalarını çözümüne katkıda bulunabilir. Model analizi ile gelecek çalışmalar için yöntem referansı sağlayabilir. Öğrencilerin benlik saygısını arttırmada psikolojik dayanıklılık ve öznel zindelik açısından izlenmesi ve geliştirme müdahalelerinin uygulanması önerilebilir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Benlik saygısı; hemşirelik öğrencisi; psikolojik dayanıklılık; öznel zindelik
ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the mediating role of subjective well-being in the relationship between psychological hardiness and self-esteem in nursing students. Material and Methods: The study is descriptive and cross-sectional. It was carried out between 01-30 April, 2020 with 462 nursing department students determined by random sampling method. The questionnaires were delivered to the students in online system due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Personal Information Form, Psychological Hardiness Scale, Self-esteem Scale and Subjective Vitality Scale were used. SPSS 21 and AMOS 22 programs were used to evaluate the data with Structural Equation Model (SEM). Effect levels were evaluated with boostrap (5000). Results: The mean scores of psychological hardiness, subjective vitality and self-esteem were 3.10±0.37, 4.99±1.20, and 2.63±0.79, respectively. The correlation coefficient between psychological hardiness, subjective vitality and self-esteem is statistically significant (p<0.01). It was determined that psychological hardiness has a direct and indirect effect on self-esteem (β= ,490, β=,219, respectively). Subjective vitality played a partial mediating role. Conclusion: The results showed that psychological hardiness and subjective vitality can significantly affect self-esteem in nursing students. The relationship was partially mediated by subjective vitality. In addition to the improved psychological hardiness of students, their subjective vitality will significantly enhance their self-esteem. Also, the study can contribute to solving the underlying mechanisms of self-esteem. It can provide a method reference for future studies with model analysis. It may be recommended that students be monitored for psychological hardiness and subjective vitality in terms of increasing their self-esteem and that enhancing interventions be applied.
