ABSTRACT
 Objective: In the undergraduate nursing education, it is important to teach students techniques to cope with stress and to strengthen their resilience. The purpose of the study was to evaluate a stress management course's impact on nursing students' resilience and coping styles; and to investigate the relationship between coping styles and resilience. Material and Methods: This quasi-experimental and prospective study with pretest-posttest design was conducted with 67 nursing students. As an intervention, the stress management course took place two hours a week for 14 weeks. Data were collected before and after the intervention using the Stress Coping Styles Scale and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale Short Form. Data analyzed using frequency, percentage, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and correlation analysis. Results: After the stress management course, the mean optimistic style scores of students increased. There was no statistically significantly difference in the self-confident, social support-seeking, submissive, helpless style and resilience mean scores after the course. A positive correlation was found between self-confident coping style and resilience. There was a negative correlation between helpless coping style and resilience. Conclusion: This study found the stress management course had a positive effect on students' optimistic approach coping styles. The study concluded that an increase in resilience strengthened the self-confident coping style and weakened the helpless coping style. Increasing resilience positively affects coping styles. It is necessary to implement training programs to increase students' resilience in the nursing education curriculum. It is also recommended that stress management course should be added to the nursing education curriculum.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Hemşirelik lisans eğitiminde öğrencilere stresle başa çıkma tekniklerinin öğretilmesi ve psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının güçlendirilmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, stres yönetimi dersinin hemşirelik öğrencilerinin psikolojik dayanıklılık ve başa çıkma tarzları üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmek ve başa çıkma tarzları ile psikolojik dayanıklılık arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ön-test ve son-test desenli yarı deneysel ve prospektif olan bu çalışma 67 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Müdahale olarak stres yönetimi kursu 14 hafta boyunca haftada iki saat olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, müdahaleden önce ve sonra Stresle Başa Çıkma Tarzları Ölçeği ve Connor-Davidson Dayanıklılık Ölçeği Kısa Formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır ve frekans, yüzde, Wilcoxon işaretli sıralar testi ve korelasyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Stres yönetimi dersinden sonra öğrencilerin iyimser tarz puan ortalamaları artmıştır. Kurs sonrasında kendine güvenli, sosyal destek arayan, boyun eğici, çaresiz tarz ve psikolojik dayanıklılık puan ortalamalarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Çaresiz başa çıkma tarzı ile psikolojik dayanıklılık arasında negatif, kendine güvenli başa çıkma tarzı ile psikolojik dayanıklılık arasında pozitif korelasyon bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, stres yönetimi dersinin öğrencilerin iyimser yaklaşımlı başa çıkma tarzları üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Çalışma, dayanıklılıktaki artışın kendine güvenli başa çıkma tarzını güçlendirdiği ve çaresiz başa çıkma tarzını zayıflattığı sonucuna varmıştır. Psikolojik dayanıklılığın artırılması başa çıkma tarzlarını olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Hemşirelik eğitimi müfredatında öğrencilerin psikolojik dayanıklılığını artırmaya yönelik eğitim programlarının uygulanması gereklidir. Ayrıca stres yönetimi dersinin hemşirelik eğitim müfredatına eklenmesi önerilmektedir.
