Abstract

Background: Stress occurs when external demands exceed an individual’s coping resources. Nursing students enrolled in the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) program, who balance employment and academic responsibilities, are particularly vulnerable to dual role conflict, which may result in fatigue, pressure, and time management difficulties. Conversely, family support is a critical protective factor that helps individuals cope during challenging periods. Objective: This study examined the relationship between dual role conflict, family support, and stress levels among RPL nursing students. Methods: A quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional design was employed. The study included all 94 RPL nursing students through total sampling. Data were collected using the Dual Role Conflict Scale, the Perceived Social Support–Family (PSS-FA), and the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10). Data analysis included frequency distribution, Somers’ d test, and ordinal logistic regression. Results: Of the 94 participants, most were female (75.5%), aged 26–53 years (58.5%), employed in hospitals (92.6%), and had 10–12 years of work experience (26.6%). Nearly half experienced low dual role conflict (44%), most reported good family support (93.6%), and the majority experienced moderate stress (62.8%). Multivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between dual role conflict and family support with stress levels (p < 0.001). The strength of the association, as indicated by Nagelkerke’s pseudo R², was 26.6%. Conclusions: Dual role conflict and family support were significantly associated with stress levels among RPL nursing students. Educational institutions should provide counseling services, stress management programs, and academic support tailored to the needs of working students. Further studies are recommended to explore additional factors influencing stress, such as peer support and individual coping strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Thailand has not had a comprehensive effort to collaborate on a wellness tourism regional program for foreign travelers. The purpose of the study was exploring the key components necessary for a wellness tourism program in the lower northern region in Thailand. Methods: This is a qualitative, community-based, participatory action research guided by the empowerment theory. A descriptive qualitative approach to data collection and analysis was used to explore stakeholders' perspectives on the development of a wellness tourism program.

Individual and focus groups interviews were conducted and analyzed thematically. The purposive sample included semi-structured questionnaires among community leaders, village health volunteers, and workers from various occupations who lived in the communities. Results:  Four themes emerged from the qualitative interviews and focus groups: 1) honoring local wisdom as the heart of a regional wellness tourism program; 2)  the integration of historical traditions and regional lifestyles into a wellness tourism program; 3) the need for government supportive policies that help to fund community wellness initiatives to boost the local economy and tourism ;and 4) attention needed to improve the quality of life for the local communities while promoting wellness tourism in the region. Conclusion: This community-based participatory action research approach created a synergy among stakeholders from multiple provinces in the lower north region of Thailand.
