Abstract
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of communication skills on resilience in undergraduate nursing students in Turkey. DESIGN AND METHODS: The research was completed with a total of 687 students. The Introductory Information Form, the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), and the Communication Skills Scale (CSS) were used as data collection tools. In evaluating the data, the Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and linear regression test were used. RESULTS: The mean RSA scores of the students were found to be significant according to some sociodemographic variables. The total correlation between the RSA and CSS was (R) 0.643; the CSS positively affected the RSA, and it explained 41.4% of the total variance (p < 0.001). PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The resilience and communication skills of the undergraduate nursing students were correlated, and their communication skills affected their resilience.
