Abstract
Objective The aim of this scoping review was to examine what is known about the relationship between the resilience and mental health of undergraduate students enrolled in university or college programs, globally. Methods Five electronic databases were searched, yielding a total of 1,498 articles that were screened independently by two researchers. Thirteen articles were eligible for inclusion. Results The mental health of undergraduate students in the studies reviewed ranged from low to moderate. Undergraduate students also reported high, moderate, and low levels of resilience. Further, resilience was positively correlated with mental well-being. Conclusion Findings revealed that the mental health of undergraduate students was poor. Given the established relationship between students’ mental health and resilience, evidence-based approaches aimed at strengthening students’ resilience, such as providing opportunities for social support, are warranted in order to improve students’ mental health. Additional research to rigorously assess this relationship in representative student populations is needed.
