The Impact of the Quranic Teachings on the Resilience and Caring Behaviors of Nursing Students Amid Crises Such as the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract: This research examined the impact of the Quranic teachings on the resilience and caring behaviors of nursing students amid crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 87 nursing students. The participants were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. For the intervention group, Quranic teachings were taught and the control group attended the clinical environment according to the routine. Before and after the intervention, the groups completed the resilience and caring behavior questionnaire. The findings of the study show a statistically significant difference in the resilience score before and after the training in the intervention group compared to the control group. The results also show a statistically significant difference in the care behavior score before and after the training in the intervention group compared to the control group. Findings illustrate how health organizations and their leaders may improve nurses' resilience and caring behaviors by integrating religious teachings in their training programs. More specifically, results provide insights into the advantages of including Quranic teachings in nursing education as these may foster resilience and caring behaviors that are essential in providing quality of nursing care especially amid health crises.
