Resilience and self-compassion affect selfhandicapping in Turkish undergraduate nursing students: A correlational study

Considering the study results, we can argue that as the students' resilience and self-compassion increase, their tendency to self-handicap decreases. For health professionals and patients' safety, it is very important to determine the levels of resilience, self-handicapping, and self-compassion because these factors may increase anxiety and stress in nursing students, affecting the proper care of patients during the work period.
