Abstract

Objective: to determine if Self-esteem, Trait anxiety and Quality of sleep are predictors of Satisfaction with life among Nursing students.
Method: a descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted in Nursing Students from the Universidad Católica de Valencia (n= 720), who answered a series of validated questionnaires in November, 2014. Descriptive analyses were conducted, as well as correlation tests, and a linear regression model to analyze the influence of independent variables (Self-esteem, Trait anxiety, and Quality of sleep) on the dependent variable (Satisfaction with life). The difference was considered significant if p< 0.05.
Results: the study included 494 (68.6%) students; 77.7% (n= 384) were female. Statistically significant differences were observed in Satisfaction with life and Gender (p= 0.002), with higher values for women; in Trait anxiety regarding Gender (p= 0.001), with higher values in women; and in Self-esteem regarding the student year (p< 0.001), with higher values for third year students. The regression results showed that 26.9% (p< 0.01) of the variance in Satisfaction with life is explained by the three independent variables: Self-esteem, Trait anxiety, and Satisfaction with sleep.
Conclusions: the study revealed that low scores in Trait anxiety and Quality of Sleep and high scores in Self-esteem were predictors of Satisfaction with life. Given the psychogenic nature of said variables, there was a discussion about the need for psychological care teams in Nursing schools.
