Abstract：Objective: To explore the intermediary effect of career adaptability and psychological resilience between perceived stress and professional commitment of nursing college students. Methods: A total of 850 undergraduate intern nursing students of Year 2018 from School of Nursing and Renji College, Wenzhou Medical
University were selected for questionnaire via www.wjx.com. The Perceived Stress Scale, Career Adaptability Scale, Chinese version of Connor and Davidson’s Resilience Scale, and Professional Commitment Scale were used to measure and analyze the results. Results: Correlation analyses revealed significantly positive correlations between perceived stress, dimensions of career adaptability, dimensions of psychological resilience, and dimensions of professional commitment (r=0.162 0.865, P<0.001), except for the correlation between perceived stress and the career control dimension of career adaptability, which was not significant. Mediating effect analysis indicated that career adaptability and psychological resilience played a chain mediating role between perceived stress and professional commitment, with a chain mediating effect of 0.070, 95%CI=0.038-0.108 and an effect size of 36.24%. Conclusion: The perception of stress could promote the professional commitment of nursing college students to a certain extent. Improving career adaptability and resilience can enhance their professional commitment.
