Background: Self-regulated learning helps to improve academic performance and is an important strategy for the sustainable development of Master of Nursing Specialists. Consequently, it is relevant to identify the factors that affect self-regulated learning and analyze the correlation between them.
Objective: This study examined the status quo of self-regulated learning, the relationship between self-regulated learning, mindful agency, and psychological resilience, and explored whether mindful agency and psychological resilience influence self-regulation learning.
Methods: Chinese Master of Nursing Specialists were recruited to participate in an online survey from March to November 2022. Self-regulated learning, mindful agency, and psychological resilience were measured using three questionnaires, including the Self-Regulated Learning Scale for Clinical Nursing Practice Scale (SRLS-CNP), the Mindful Agency Scale, and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS26.0. The statistical methods included descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation analyses, and multiple linear regression.
Results: Self-regulated learning of Chinese Master of Nursing Specialists was medium level (59.24 ± 9.33 scores). Mindful agency and psychological resilience were positively correlated with self-regulated learning (p < 0.01) and important predictors of self-regulated learning of Master of Nursing Specialists, explaining 44.6% of the variation.
Conclusion: Mindful agency and psychological resilience affected the self-regulated learning level of Master of Nursing Specialists in clinical practice. These results will enable clinical educators to pay more attention to the personal psychological factors of Master of Nursing Specialists to improve their self-regulated learning ability through mindful agency and psychological resilience.
1. Introduction
Lifelong learning is a pillar of nursing practice and a conscious pursuit of caregivers throughout their careers, helping caregivers prepare for new or different roles and respond positively to the inevitable changes in clinical practice (Bindon, 2017), such as the continuous rapid development of medical technology, the increasing demand for services related to the aging population (Ge et al., 2020) and the spread of infectious and chronic diseases (Baker et al., 2021). Self-regulated learning (SRL) refers to regulating emotion, cognition, and behavior throughout the learning process to achieve at the expected level and is the main feature of lifelong learning (Casali et al., 2022; Albani et al., 2023). Self-regulating learning skills are particularly important in complex clinical learning environments. Self-regulation has a beneficial effect of improving medical students’ academic performance (Wang et al., 2020; Ballouk et al., 2022) and clinical skills (Goldowsky and Rencic, 2022), improving their mental health (Baars et al., 2017), and is an important strategy for the lifelong career development of medical students.
In 2010, the State Council of China approved the establishment of the professional degree of Master of Nursing Specialist (MNS) to cultivate high-level, application-oriented professionals with strong professional practical ability and theoretical knowledge who can creatively engage in specialized nursing practice (ADCSC, 2010). Studies have demonstrated that MNS graduates have gradually become leaders of clinical nursing reform and coordinators of the multidisciplinary health team (Goldsberry, 2018). Training nursing students’ self-regulated learning ability in clinical nursing practice significantly improves their autonomy, self-confidence, and lifelong learning ability (Iyama and Maeda, 2018). In this regard, identifying the self-regulated learning of MNS graduates and the factors that affect it will be useful during their clinical practice in the clinical learning environment.
Studies have depicted that learners’ skills in regulating mechanisms (such as attention, emotional control, planning, metacognition, etc.) are closely related to self-regulating learning (van der Riet et al., 2018). Mindful agency refers to a positive mental quality where learners regulate their emotional ability and their cognitive process of learning through mindfulness (Wang and Peng, 2017). Nursing students with higher mindful agency have a better psychological status helping them to better adapt to the clinic (Kakoschke et al., 2021). Mindfulness intervention can reduce anxiety and stress, thereby increasing trainee nursing students’ happiness (Dai et al., 2022). It has been reported that the mindful agency of nursing students positively impacts their regulatory behavior since mindful agency can promote cognition (Fabio and Towey, 2018), emotional regulation (Lee and Jang, 2021), self-awareness, and improve attention regulation (Wang and Peng, 2017).
Psychological resilience is the ability of individual learners to overcome difficulties, mobilize learning motivation and deal with external pressure factors in the face of adversity (Sisto et al., 2019), which can guide students to face clinical challenges, improve nursing quality, their psychological status and health (Cleary et al., 2018; Ríos-Risquez et al., 2018). Indeed, nursing students with higher psychological resilience tend to adopt positive ways to cope with stress and demonstrate better clinical adaptability (Amsrud et al., 2019; Li and Hasson, 2020). Mao et al. (2022) found that psychological resilience plays a positive role in arousing positive emotions. In addition, Liu et al.’s (2021) research found that psychological resilience is a protective factor and positively correlates with emotional regulation ability.
Recently, some studies have explored the self-regulated learning of medical students and the factors influencing self-regulated learning (van Houten-Schat et al., 2018). However, there is a lack of research on the relationship between mindful agency, psychological resilience, and the clinical self-regulation learning level of Master of Nursing Specialists in the context of China’s higher nursing education. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between mindful agency, psychological resilience, and clinical self-regulated learning level of Master of Nursing Specialists. Understanding the influencing factors of self-regulated learning can better cultivate Master of Nursing Specialists. It is hypothesized that mindful agency and psychological resilience are related to self-regulated learning of the clinical nursing practice of Master of Nursing Specialists during the clinical period.
2. Methods
2.1. Participants
From March 2022 to November 2022, Master of Nursing Specialists from Shandong, Liaoning, and other higher nursing institutions were recruited. The inclusion criteria were: (a) full-time postgraduate nursing student; (b) participation in clinical practice; (c) willingness to participate in the study and provide informed consent. The exclusion criterion was those who did not complete the questionnaire.
The sample size was calculated according to the multivariate linear regression equation, and the sample size could be at least 10 to 15 times the number of variables in the equation (Trigo et al., 2018). There were 6 independent variables that were introduced into the equation. Thus, the sample size was at least 60–90, and considering the unavailability and a nonresponse rate of 20%, the required amount for the sample was 75–113. In the present study, there were 216 participants in total. All participants were invited to complete the survey through network links, and 196 valid questionnaires were collected.
2.2. Procedure
The researchers sent QR codes through China’s social media networks, and the participants completed the survey through “WJX”.1 The questionnaire consisted of three parts: informed consent, general information, and self-reporting scales.
2.3. Ethical considerations
This study was approved by the ethics committee of QingDao University (QDU-HEC-2021102), and all participation was voluntary and anonymous. This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
2.4. Instruments
2.4.1. The self-regulated learning scale for clinical nursing practice scale (SRLS-CNP)
The Master of Nursing Specialists’ self-regulated learning was assessed by the SRLS-CNP that was developed by Iyama and Maeda (2018) (Cronbach’s α = 0.85) and translated into Chinese by Chen et al. (2021). The scale has good reliability and validity, with Cronbach’s α of 0.940. The scale comprises sixteen items and two factors, with each item fully reflecting the concept connotation of self-regulated learning in nursing students’ clinical practice. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 ‘strongly disagree’ to 5 ‘strongly agree’, and the composite scores range from 16 to 80. We took a score of 48 as the cut-off value and divided the MNS into lower self-regulated learning level group (<48 scores), medium self-regulated learning level group (48–64 scores), and higher self-regulated learning level group (>64 scores). The higher the score, the stronger the self-regulated learning ability of nursing students. In this study, Cronbach’s α was 0.938.
2.4.2. The mindful agency scale
Mindful agency was measured using the Chinese mindful agency scale based on the mindful agency subscale used by Deakin et al. (2015) in analyzing the learning power model (Wang and Peng, 2017). The tool has five dimensions, including sixteen items: learning methods (3 items), emotional regulation (2 items), awareness of planning (3 items), openness to experience (5 items), and learning engagement (3 items). The scale has good reliability and validity, with Cronbach’s α of 0.840. The mindful agency scale is scored using a 6-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 ‘strongly inconsistent’ to 6 ‘strongly consistent’. The total scale ranges from 16 to 96, with higher scores indicating a higher level of mindful agency. We took a score of 57.6 as the cut-off value and divided the MNS into lower mindful agency group (<57.6 scores), medium mindful agency group (57.6–76.8 scores), and higher mindful agency group (>76.8 scores). In this study, Cronbach’s α was 0.957.
2.4.3. 10-item Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC-10)
Psychological resilience was evaluated using the CD-RISC-10 developed by Campbell-Sills and Stein (2007), which was revised and translated into Chinese by Ye et al. (2016). The Chinese CD-RISC-10 consists of one dimension, including ten items and has sound reliability and validity (Cronbach’s α = 0.851). The CD-RISC-10 scale is scored using a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 4 with a total score ranging from 0 to 50. We took a score of 30 as the cut-off value and divided the MNS into lower psychological resilience group (<30 scores), medium psychological resilience group (30–40 scores), and higher psychological resilience group (>40 scores). The higher scores indicate a higher level of psychological resilience. In this study, Cronbach’s α was 0.934.
The Master of Nursing Specialists’ demographic characteristics, such as age, sex, grade, clinical practice time, graduation employment intention, etc., were collected by the General Information Questionnaire.
2.5. Statistical analysis
The data were analyzed using the statistical SPSS 26.0 software (IBM, Armonk, NY, United States). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the demographic characteristics. The data were tested for skewness and kurtosis and the scores of self-regulated learning, mindful agency and psychological resilience conform to a normal distribution, so they are described by means and standard deviation. The relationships among the main variables and their components were examined by Pearson’s correlation analyses. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of self-regulated learning (α = 0.05).
3. Results
3.1. Demographic characteristics
Of the 216 Master of Nursing Specialists recruited, 196 completed the questionnaire (90.74% response rate). There were 76 Grade 1 Master of Nursing Specialists, 85 Grade 2 Master of Nursing Specialists, and 35 Grade 3 Master of Nursing Specialists. Their demographic characteristics are provided in Table 1.

4. Discussion
This study explored the status quo of clinical self-regulated learning of Chinese Master of Nursing Specialists, as well as the impact of mindful agency and psychological resilience on the level of clinical self-regulated learning.
The clinical self-regulation learning level of nursing graduate students in this study was medium level, and the motivation dimension score was relatively low. These findings are consistent with Mäenpää et al.’s (2020) and Chen et al.’s (2019) studies. The relatively low sense of self-efficacy of some nursing graduate students may be the main reason why clinical self-regulated learning is at the medium level, and the score of motivation dimension is low (Fernandez-Rio et al., 2017). After some students entered clinical study, their role orientation was still unclear (Cretu and Stilos, 2021). In addition, in the context of the normalization of the COVID-19 pandemic, the complex clinical learning environment, how to balance the pressure of hospital and school life (Laurencelle and Scanlan, 2018), and heavy workload may lead some graduate students to self-doubt, reducing their confidence and enthusiasm for education, so they lack the motivation to complete their studies.
Mindful agency is positively correlated with the clinical self-regulated learning level of Master of Nursing Specialists, which is consistent with previous research results. For example, motivation and attention are positive personal influencing factors affecting self-regulated learning since students with higher intrinsic motivation and concentration had a better level of clinical self-regulated learning (Berkhout et al., 2015; Baars et al., 2017; van der Riet et al., 2018). Armstrong (2022) reported that the level of students’ mindfulness affects their attention, with mindful learners effectively filtering interfering information and improving learning engagement. Meanwhile, the study by Donald et al. (2020) found a positive relationship between mindfulness and intrinsic motivation. Cultivating the mindfulness subjectivity of Master of Nursing Specialists can improve their learning attention, promote their learning interest, stimulate their internal learning motivation, and improve their self-regulated learning in clinical practice. Mindful agency positively impacts focusing attention, improving mental health, and improving patient care. Therefore, many researchers have suggested further improving students’ mindful agency (van Houten-Schat et al., 2018). Mindfulness training (such as body scanning, mindfulness meditation, mindfulness exercise, and stress reduction training) can be effectively brought into formal practice, and more importantly, integrated into informal practice. At the same time, carry out peer assistance programs to share experiences with peers.
Psychological resilience is positively correlated with clinical self-regulated learning of Master of Nursing Specialists. The study found that low psychological resilience may increase the psychological distress of nursing students, so they cannot effectively deal with external pressure in the face of adversity. Furthermore, previous studies have demonstrated that the psychological resilience of nursing students is related to their problem-solving ability (Pinar et al., 2018), adaptability, and mental health (Li and Hasson, 2020), which may further affect their self-regulated learning in clinical practice. The nursing students with psychological resilience showed stronger perseverance and an optimistic attitude and could actively face the difficulties encountered in the clinical environment to improve their clinical adaptability and enhance their sense of happiness (Meyer et al., 2020). The present study demonstrated that psychological resilience needs to be cultivated in clinical nursing education to better improve nurses’ clinical adaptability and self-regulation ability, thereby improving their sense of happiness and promoting patient safety.
5. Limitations
This study has some limitations. First, it is a cross-sectional study, and the results may be biased due to data collected via electronic questionnaires. Future studies should investigate the factors influencing self-regulated learning in the form of interviews. Second, the number of samples included in this study was small, so it is necessary to further expand the sample size in the future.
6. Conclusion
The clinical practice self-regulation ability of Master of Nursing Specialists was found to be at a medium level and positively related to the level of mindful agency and psychological resilience. In addition, it was found that the level of mindful agency and psychological resilience of the Master of Nursing Specialists influences the level of clinical self-regulated learning. These results will enable clinical educators to pay more attention to the personal psychological factors of Master of Nursing Specialists to improve their self-regulated learning ability through mindful agency and psychological resilience.
