Abstract

Introduction: First year students are often faced with various challenges that have an impact on their psychological well-being. So far, the psychological well-being of first-year nursing students is not clearly known. Good psychological well-being helps first-year nursing students cope with academic demands. Objective: This study aimed to describe the psychological well-being of first-year students at the Faculty of Nursing, Padjadjaran University. Methods: This study used a quantitative descriptive method. The population of this study were all first-year active students, namely the 2022 batch of the Faculty of Nursing, Padjadjaran University, Bachelor Study Program (N=234). The sampling technique in this study is total sampling. This study used the Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale Instrument with 48 statement items that have been adapted to Indonesian language and culture with a validity index of 0.304 - 0.580 and a cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.912. Data analysis in this study used univariate analysis. Results: The results showed that 6.4% of students had high psychological well-being, 87.6% of students had moderate psychological well-being, and 6.0% of students had low psychological well-being. Almost all first-year students of the Faculty of Nursing, Padjadjaran University have psychological well-being in the moderate category.
