Abstract EN
The purpose of this research was to explore the mental health and well-being of Muslim nursing students in Thailand.
Specifically, the study investigated the factors that impact anxiety and depression among Muslim nursing students.
This cross-sectional research was conducted with a half sampling method of Muslim undergraduate students who were studying at a public nursing college in Thailand.
From the 220 self-identified Muslim nursing students, 110 were sampled for this study, representing 14% of the total nursing students at this college.
Results indicated a moderate prevalence of anxiety and high prevalence of depression among Muslim nursing students.
Stress (β=.42) was positively associated with anxiety, while self-esteem (β=-.42) was negatively associated with anxiety; together this model accounted for 46% of the variance in anxiety.
Self-esteem (β=-.41) and social support (β=-.17) were negatively associated with depression, while stress (β=.37) was positively correlated with depression; together this model accounted for 57% of the variance in depression.
Recommendations were given to help train Muslim nursing students to be competent nurses with good mental health and well-being who will succeed and contribute to the nursing profession.
