Abstract:

The psychological problems of contemporary nursing students are frequent, and the mild ones affect their life and study, while the serious ones may lead to psychological crisis. This article attempts to improve the negative psychological problems and behaviors of contemporary nursing students such as “lying down”, “depression” and even suicide from the perspective of positive psychology. This study explored the relationship between psychological richness, self-compassion, and self-efficacy among 782 Chinese nursing students. The Chinese Version of the Psychological Richness Life Questionnaire, Self-compassion Scale, and General Self-efficacy Scale were used to measure the relevant psychological traits of the participants. The results of the study showed that most participants had Below median psychological richness. There is a significant positive correlation between psychological richness, self-compassion, and self-efficacy. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to and cultivate self-compassion and self-efficacy in the process of enhancing individual psychological richness. Through techniques such as mindfulness meditation, students’ psychological richness, self-compassion, and self-efficacy can be improved to enhance their mental health.
