DescriptionPurpose of the Project
The hardships and stress endured while in nurse anesthesia programs has been well documented in current and past nurse anesthesia literature, thus leading to higher levels of stress with a reduction in student self-efficacy particularly while transitioning from didactic to clinical education. Whilst that remains true, few programs exist to address the newly added stress or educate ways in which to handle this vulnerable time period.

Methodology
Current second-year students (n= 22) at a large state university in New Jersey who were in the transition phase of their education, partook in a prospective, descriptive, quantitative designed study based on the use ABC model of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Study conductors looked to explore and understand the relationship between thoughts and reactions, both emotional and behavioral. Pre- and post Perceived Stress Scales and Self Reflection surveys were conducted measuring the personal beliefs and attitudes that contribute to how helpful the ABC Belief Monitoring form of CBT was during focus groups.

Results
The Wilcoxon sign rank test was used to analyze pre and post survey data. CBT focus groups provided positive benefits towards building resilience in second year RRNAs.

Implications
RRNA’s began to learn methods to alleviate negative feelings, develop positive coping mechanisms, improve self-efficacy, and build resilience for the duration of their education and beyond. By using the ABC model of CBT, a more confident, resilient and adaptable student will be developed which in turn leads to a more confident, resilient and adaptable employee within the profession.
