| Summary: | Abstract Aim(s) This study aimed to examine the social supports' mediating effects on the relationship between grit and academic burnout in nursing students. Design This was a descriptive study. Methods This study was conducted in two nursing departments in Korea, utilizing a convenience sample of 158 nursing students. Data were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression analysis and bootstrapping to verify the mediation effect. Results The grit's direct effect on academic burnout and indirect effect with social support on academic burnout were statistically significant. Social support mediated the relationship between grit and academic burnout. Social support can improve grit and reduce academic burnout. Social support programs for nursing students should be implemented to prevent/reduce academic burnout. |
