| description | Introduction Nursing students often experience academic burnout due to the intense demands of their education, affecting their performance and well-being. Personal traits like grit and learning agility have the potential to alleviate burnout. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the impact of grit and learning agility on academic burnout among nursing students. Methods This study employed a descriptive, cross-sectional design, engaging a random sample of 467 nursing students. The study utilized self-reported online surveys to collect data from nursing students. These surveys included a demographic questionnaire, a short grit scale, a learning agility questionnaire, and a Maslach Burnout Inventory student survey. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient test, and simple linear regression were employed to analyze data in SPSS software (version 23.0). Results The majority of the participants demonstrated elevated levels of grit (56.1%), moderate levels of learning agility (55.0%), and moderate levels of academic burnout (53.3%). The study revealed a statistically significant positive association between grit and learning agility ( r = 0.274, p < .001), as well as a negative link between grit and academic burnout ( r = −0.327, p < .001). Conclusion These findings highlight the importance of fostering grit and learning agility in nursing education as a means to mitigate academic burnout. Integrating resilience-building interventions such as mentorship programs and stress management into nursing curricula may enhance students’ ability to deal with challenges and persist in their studies and improve both academic success and long-term professional well-being in the nursing workforce. |
