Abstract


The current study aimed to reveal the relative contribution of academic passion to the academic well-being among nursing students. To achieve the study objectives, a sample of (143) male and female students from Palestinian students inside the Arabs (48) was selected by using the available sample method for the summer semester of the academic year 2023-2024. The academic passion scale and the academic well-being scale were applied to them. The results showed that the level of academic well-being was within the high level and that there were no statistically significant differences at (=0.05) in the responses of the sample members on the academic well-being scale attributed to the gender and academic level. The results also showed that whenever the obsessive academic passion increases by a standard unit, the academic well-being increases (0.489), and whenever the harmonious academic passion increases by a standard unit, the academic well-being increases (0.297).
