Overview
Challenges in professional practice can contribute to stress, and burnout and may even cause nurses to consider leaving the profession. Resilience may help nurses deal with professional challenges. In this unit, you will explore the concept of resilience and its place in nursing. You will also identify factors that contribute to workplace stress, and reflect on strategies that promote resilience and assist in the management of adverse events within the workplace.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE.
Craig and Shunil are the best lecturers and unit coordinators I have experienced throughout the three year course. The most important approach that Craig and Shunil use in their teaching is consistently creating a safe environment for students. It not only helps reduce anxieties and confusion because you feel comfortable to be open with them and can clearly recieve what they are saying but it also motivates you to want to engage more. The resources and support materials for assessments that they provide are extremely helpful and support student to be able to produce good quality work. They also have a really warm and encouraging approach that allows people to speak and rather that telling them they're wrong as a lot of coordinators do, they are very diplomatic and thoughtful about the ways in which they can redirect the person to the right answer or different way of thinking without making them feel ashamed or publicly highlighting their errors as other coordinators often do. I wish every unit had lecturers like Craig and Shunil, they are worth infinitely more than their weight in gold.
Unit Coordinators will update unit content, aligned learning activities and assessments one, two and three to incorporate contemporary literature Unit Coordinators will continue to apply diverse teaching, learning and assessment philosophies and methods that are person-centred/student-focused, and culturally sensitive and thus enhance individual students’ motivation, commitment and ability to successfully meet the learning outcomes and aligned requirements within unit assessments one, two and three.
Feedback from SUTE.
Just want to say that Craig & Shunil have been amazing this semester! I have transferred from another university and the student support has surpassed the support received at the old campus. the content was clear and concise and was easy to engage and follow along with. the assessment units are clearly written and the rubric is easy to follow along with. Overall, very happy with this unit. And a massive thank you to both mentioned about for advocating for your students mental health and taking the time to check in on students.

Feedback from SUTE.
I was lucky to have met one of the lecturers in a previous class so I felt connected. I have to mention that I had some very difficult personal matters occur during this term and must give recognition to Shunil Raina who really helped me focus on what needed to be done, gave supportive words and encouragement, and a little laugh. For somebody who is going through a stressful period, this unit can be quite triggering as it is bringing great awareness to how much you may NOT be coping and how truly stressed you are without realising it. I feel it would be most beneficial for a mental health professional to remain as a lecturer for students taking this unit, and that students are aware of who this is.

Feedback from SUTE.
I am so grateful that we have such a great team to provide the wonderful unit in this term. I learned a lot from the weekly zoom tutorial which present in a humorous and realistic way. Also, the assessment feedback from my UC, especially Shunil, is so great. They really considered the situation that English is my second language and provide so many helpful advices in the comment of the assessment. I believe my nursing career will benefit from the knowledge I obtained in this unit and the UC team. Thank you so much!

Feedback from SUTE.
This was a very relevant helpful unit. Was a good opportunity to reflect on nursing practice throughout our placements, not only for our assignments but for ourselves to see how far we had come and what challenges we have overcome already. Very engaging helpful teachers. Thank you.

Feedback from SUTE. Direct communication.
Workbook: Positive student feedback was received in relation to the module-to-module format. I found the workbook was a fantastic way to work through the content and make sure understanding was gained through answering questions. Reference lists made understanding of the type of references to search for more concise. The zoom videos were longer than other subjects, however, I liked the fact that the information was linked to real-life scenarios experienced by the lecturers. Having the zoom lessons recorded was also fantastic as I have a very heavy work schedule that did not allow me to attend live classes.
The workbook format will remain as it promotes a positive learning experience for the students. Workbook content and aligned learning activities will be updated to incorporate contemporary literature. Tutorials will continue to be recorded so they are available to all the student cohort.
Feedback from SUTE. Student emails. Direct communication.
Online tutorial sessions: The availability of the unit coordinators was identified by students as beneficial and contributed to their ability to submit their assessments. The unit coordinators made the tutorials a safe and calming space. One student found the tutorials needed to be shorter in time.
Tutorial sessions will be divided into two-thirty-minute sessions to increase student participation.

Feedback from SUTE.
Shunil has to be the most respectful patient caring lecturer. Anytime I needed support or help he would call take the time to explain ensure the outcome is fair and reasonable, I think even beyond. What an amazing man cqu have, I will never forget how he made me feel when I was struggling mid term. He just got it without judgement or disrespect.

I loved listening to shunils lectures, he was interactive showed passion and enthusiasm for the topic and linked to well to real world practices. Out of all the units i have completed to date shunil has "sold" the content and i believe this is reflected in the assessment marks achieved by students as a clear reflection of the unit coordinators ability to teach the content. I value it all, well done!

2 Written Assessment
Aim
The aim of this assessment is for the student to examine one of their experiences in the clinical environment. The student should explore and analyse how they have changed, developed or grown from the experience.
Instructions
Please follow the steps below to complete your assessment task:
Using the 5 R’s reflective framework, reflect on ONE specific clinical placement experience from your perspective as a student nurse.
1. Reporting: Describe ONE challenging situation you encountered on clinical placement. Explain how it did or could have negatively impacted your nursing practice and challenged your resilience. You could reference in here how this situation challenges student RNs. References are required in each section (150 words). For example, a patient yelled at you- this is verbal abuse.
2. Responding: Explain your thoughts and feelings during and after the challenging situation and why you felt this way. Here you could reference how the experience impacts students emotionally and psychologically. Again, references are required in each section (150 words).
3. Relating: Detail how this experience relates to the wider community of student nurses and/or graduate nurses (400 words). For example, what is the impact of verbal abuse on nursing staff? What is the impact of abuse on nurses mental and physical health? How does abuse affect nurses’ level of resilience? Statistics either international or domestic should be included in this section and supported well with valid and relevant references.
4. Reasoning: Consider the issue on a wider basis and discuss the impact of your experience within healthcare overall (400 words). For example, what is the impact of abuse on healthcare staff overall? What is the impact on healthcare professionals mental and physical health? Statistics either international or domestic should be included in this section. This section should be supported well with valid and relevant references.
5. Reconstructing: Using the information from the four previous sections draw conclusions, to reframe or reconstruct your future practice (150 words).
6. Learning Goals: Detail two SMART goals to help you refocus your practice based upon the lessons learned and outlined in the previous sections. SMART goals need to include the following elements: They need to be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound. You need to include these specific words within this section for each goal (150 words).
7. Action Plan: Outline two evidence-based strategies you could use if you encountered this challenging situation again. Explain how these strategies will improve your resilience. This section should be supported well with valid and relevant references (400 words).
Literature and references
In this assessment use at least 15 contemporary references (<10 years) to support your discussion. You may also use seminal scholarly literature where relevant. Suitable references include peer-reviewed journal articles as well as textbooks and credible websites. When sourcing information, consider the 5 elements of a quality reference: currency, authority, relevance, objectivity, and coverage. Grey literature sourced from the internet must be from reputable websites such as from government, university, or peak national bodies: for example, the Australian College of Nursing or the Australian Association of Social Workers.
Requirements
- Use a conventional and legible size 12 font, such as Times New Roman, with 2.0 line spacing and 2.54cm page margins (standard pre-set margin in Microsoft Word).
- Include page numbers on the top right side of each page in a header.
- You may write in the first-person perspective (I, my) for reflective writing tasks, or as directed by your lecturer but should predominantly write in the third-person perspective.
- Use formal academic language.
- Use the seventh edition American Psychological Association (APA) referencing style. The CQUniversity Academic Learning Centre has an online CQU APA Referencing Style Guide.
- All work submitted must be your own work.
- The word count excludes the reference list but includes in-text references and direct quotations.
- Please do not identify specific persons or locations or patients within your writing.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
