  "abstract": "To assess psychological resilience and negative emotional states in nursing students in Eastern China, and to test whether resilience mediates their association with attitude toward the nursing profession. A multicentre cross-sectional survey of 500 nursing students (450 women; mean age 19.57 ± 1.08 years) at three institutions in Eastern China, recruited by cluster sampling of intact classes in April 2024. Resilience was measured with the CD-RISC and negative emotional states with the DASS-21. Analyses (SPSS 26.0) comprised t tests, one-way ANOVA, Spearman correlations, dummy-coded regression and PROCESS Model 4 mediation with 5000 bootstrap samples. Mean resilience was 59.76 ± 16.33 and mean DASS-21 total 29.32 ± 25.50; 48.8% of students scored above the normal range for depression and 53.8% for anxiety. Attitude toward nursing, household income, parental education and work experience were associated with resilience, negative emotional states, or both; all effect sizes were small (partial η2 = 0.003–0.074). Resilience accounted for 31.2% of the attitude–distress association (indirect effect 3.09, 95% CI 1.33–5.43). Resilience was inversely associated with depression, anxiety and stress, and attitude toward the nursing profession showed the strongest association with both outcomes, partly through resilience. Because the design is cross-sectional, these findings identify correlates rather than causes.",
