Sociodemographic, economic, and academic factors linked with resilience in university students during covid-19 pandemic: a Brazilian cross-sectional study

BackgroundResilience is a crucial factor in students’ mental health, playing an important role in their successful adaptation to the academic environment. However, there is a lack of understanding about resilience and its associated factors in students from different undergraduate courses. This study aimed to describe the resilience profile of undergraduate students from various courses in Brazil and identify sociodemographic, economic, and academic factors associated with resilience.MethodsThis study has data from a cross-sectional multicenter study involving undergraduate students from eight Federal Institutions of Higher Education in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The dependent variable was resilience, measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) 10-item version, with sociodemographic, economic, and academic factors considered independent variables. Data was collected virtually via a self-administered questionnaire between October 2021 and February 2022 (during the covid-19 pandemic). Independent samples t-tests and ANOVAs were conducted to compare resilience scores between independent variables, and Tukey’s post-hoc test was performed when necessary. Multiple linear regression was performed to create three models.Results8,650 undergraduate students were included in this study. The average score on the resilience scale was 19.86 ± 8.15, with a normal distribution. The respondents ranged from 18 to 71 years old, averaging 23.9 ± 6.33. Being female, not having a religious belief, having low per capita family income, having had a decrease in the family income, not being heterosexual, or having the head of the family with a low education level were the main factors associated, individually, with low resilience scores in the sociodemographic and economic multiple linear regression model constructed. Being from linguistics, letters and arts courses, being enrolled in fewer subjects, or being from UFMG were the main factors associated, individually, with low resilience scores in the academic multiple linear regression model constructed.ConclusionsThe study’s findings revealed that sociodemographic, economic, and academic variables were significantly associated with resilience scores in undergraduates from Minas Gerais during the covid-19 pandemic. These findings can help universities develop target strategies to promote students’ resilience and reduce the risk of poor mental health among this population.

“Don’t just be ordinary”: Understanding the Resilience of College Students of Color at a Predominantly White Institution

Despite the prevalence of student multicultural centers providing support to students of Color across higher education institutions in the United States, experiences related to marginalization and discrimination remain present on college campuses. Using an ecological systems framework, researchers interviewed seven undergraduates active with their university’s student multicultural center to explore their experiences of resilience more deeply at a Predominantly White Institution (PWI). Findings indicate a need for expanding support for students who experience frequent microaggressions and stereotyping related to their marginalized identities. Systemic recommendations for working with college students of Color are presented.

THE EFFECT OF PEER EDUCATION ON SLEEP HYGIENE ON SLEEP QUALITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS LIVING IN DORMITORIES

Resilience experienced by university students during the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative exploration based on focus-group interviews

PurposeUniversity students have been one of the most affected groups worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic, having experienced increased stress, anxiety, and depression. Resilience is reported as the most predictive factor in decreasing the impact of the threats of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, university students’ resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic has not received much attention; this is a research gap that this study aimed to address. MethodsSeventeen 2nd- and 4th-year South Korean students who had experienced at least one year of university life during the COVID-19 pandemic participated in this study between June and July 2021.This study involved three focus-group interviews that were recorded and transcribed verbatim, and data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. ResultsEight conceptual categories emerged from the three main themes distilled from participants’ responses: 1) factors impeding resilience: experience of loss, experience of a dangerous situation, expansion of uncertainty, and accumulated stress; 2) strategies to strengthen resilience: change and innovation, loss and confrontation, and transcendence; and 3) outcomes from strengthening resilience: adapting to the changing world (“the new normal”). Conclusions: This study found several factors that impede resilience and strategies to further support resilience. Universities and relevant community organizations can use these findings to develop educational programs and interventions to strengthen resilience in university students, helping them to better cope with future challenges and overcome adversity.

Analyzing psychological resilience in college students: A decision tree model

In the evolving landscape of higher education, particularly in the post-pandemic era, it is crucial for college students to face societal challenges and achieve success by understanding and predicting psychological resilience. To deepen our understanding of psychological resilience, this study used a decision tree model to explore influencing factors. We surveyed 776 college students and collected data on demographic information, self-esteem, sense of school belonging, pro-environmental behavior, subjective well-being, internet game addiction, life autonomy, and academic procrastination using several scales. The decision tree model identified eight key predictors of psychological resilience, which are as follows in order of importance: self-esteem, sense of school belonging, pro-environmental behavior, subjective well-being, academic procrastination, life autonomy, internet game addiction, and academic achievement. This model's accuracy reached 73.985 %, emphasizing its potential utility in educational settings. The findings not only provide a novel and data-driven perspective to understand psychological resilience in college students compared to existing research but also provide practical guidance for educational practitioners and policymakers on how to develop psychological resilience in college students.

GRATITUDE, FORGIVENESS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL BEING AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS

In the midst of these complexities, it is critical to comprehend the factors that influence psychological well-being in order to promote holistic development and resilience of college students. Of the many factors that influence psychological well-being, the constructs of gratitude and forgiveness have drawn increasing attention in psychological research. Correlational research design was used in the study by assuming that a relationship could exist between Gratitude, Forgiveness and Psychological Wellbeing among adolescents. The sample consisted of 110 (55 girls and 55 boys) college students. The gratitude scale (Mohammad Anas, Akbar Husain, Asiya Aijaz and Shah Mohammad Khan), Forgiveness Scale (Reginald Amanze and Jerome Carson) and the Psychological Wellbeing Scale (Carol D. Ryff) were used to measure gratitude, forgiveness and psychological wellbeing in an individual. Pearson Product Moment Correlation test indicates significant relationship between gratitude and forgiveness among both girls and boys college students. There is significant relationship between forgiveness and psychological wellbeing, gratitude and psychological wellbeing among girl college students but there is no significant relationship between these variables in boy college students. We may conclude that there is a strong correlation between forgiveness and thankfulness, which emphasises how positive feelings are intertwined. Forgiveness, which is letting go of grudges and offering forgiveness, seems to be strongly related to gratitude, which is defined as acknowledging and appreciating gifts. This implies that those who feel one of these emotions are probably going to feel the other to some degree as well. Higher or lower level of gratitude and forgiveness of an individual will impact the level of psychological wellbeing of an individual and vice-versa.

Effects of Physical Activity on College Students' Positive Psychology

Physical activities are increasingly practiced among college students and may be effective in improving positive psychology. This article conducted a meta-analysis of RCTs to systematically evaluate the effects of physical activities on positive psychology in college students. Two authors conducted independent literature searches in electronic databases from the first available date to December 2023. Then, eligible studies were selected, data for meta‐analysis were extracted, and the risk of bias was evaluated. Eight independent RCTs with 697 participants were included. Meta-analysis showed that physical activities significantly improved the level of self-efficacy, positive emotion and well-being among college students. However, physical activities did not significantly enhance the resilience in college students. Clinical evidence from current RCTs indicates that physical activities could enhance the positive psychology in college students.

The Mediating Role of Patience in the Relationship Between Coping Styles and Resilience

TThe aim of the present study was to examine the mediation effect of patience in the relationship between coping styles and resilience in university students. The sample comprised 401 university students (290 females [72.3%] and 111 males [27.7%]). The Patience Scale, Coping Style Scale, and Brief Resilience Scale were employed in the study. SPSS and AMOS 21 were used for statistical analysis. According to the study findings, there were positive relationships between patience, resilience, and problem-focused coping styles. Emotion-focused coping styles were negatively associated with patience and resilience. The results of the mediating model showed that patience partially mediated the relationships between problem/emotion-focused coping styles and resilience. The researchers discussed the results and offered suggestions in light of the relevant literature.

Analysing the effect of resilience and perceived social environment on university students' intention to start sustainable ventures.

The literature mostly has addressed the determinants of entrepreneurial intention in general and social entrepreneurship, without focusing specifically on sustainable entrepreneurial intention despite it has become highly relevant in addressing environmental degradation and social challenges. This study aims to contributes to the understanding of psychological and social factors that influence sustainable business, evaluating the effect of resilience, subjective norms, and perceived social support on sustainable entrepreneurial intention. We analysed the online survey responses of 433 students from Chile and Ecuador enrolled in business and engineering programs using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Models (PLS-SEM), moreover, a multi-group analysis (MGA) has been conducted to assess gender differences. The findings have supported the positive effect of psychological resilience and subjective norms on perceived social support, besides, an important effect of social support on sustainable entrepreneurial intention was found. These results offer new evidence regarding the significance of the social environment, support networks, and resilience of university students in fostering the establishment of sustainable businesses with a focus on social well-being and environmental protection in Latin America. This is particularly pertinent as the countries in this region are grappling with social and environmental challenges that could be addressed through sustainable entrepreneurship.

Resilience of University Students During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic and Results of a Pilot Positive Psychotherapy Intervention Study.

University students were significantly affected by the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic, with significant impacts on their mental health, resilience skills, and life skills. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate these parameters by focusing on the experiences of 472 university students as well as examining correlations between mental states, resilience, and life skills. The secondary aim was to conduct a pilot study of a 10-week psychoeducation program that uses positive psychotherapy to improve resilience skills. The first phase of this research project was designed as a quantitative and correlative study, while the second phase was designed as a quasi-experimental model. Data collection tools used in the first phase included the Sociodemographic Information Form, Life Skills Scale (LSS), Symptom Checklist (SCL90R), and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). The Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) was used in the second phase. The sample group for the first phase was 472 university students from several university institutes in Cyprus, while the quasi-experimental group consisted of 33 psychology students from the University of Cyprus. The average mental symptoms score for students based on SCL90R was 1.10 ± 0.70, showing they have psychological symptoms and grievances. Significant negative correlations were found between the BRS general score and the LSS general and SCL90R scores (all P = .001). The model was found to be significant and could explain 18.5% of the effect according to the predictive status of LSS and SCL90R scores in BRS scores. In conclusion, this study provides vital insights into the mental well-being of university students during the pandemic. The findings reveal a concerning prevalence of psychological symptoms and distress among students, indicating a significant impact of the COVID-19 crisis on their mental health. This research also demonstrated the effectiveness of targeted interventions. The positive changes in resilience skills and reduced mental health symptoms observed after the 10-week study period highlight the importance of proactive approaches. This study underscores the urgent need for accessible mental health resources and tailored support mechanisms for university students, especially during times of crisis. Addressing these issues is crucial for fostering a resilient and mentally healthy student population.

대학생의 전공만족도ㆍ스트레스ㆍ회복탄력성의 관계

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between college students' major satisfaction, stress, and resilience, and to determine whether college students' major satisfaction and stress affect their resilience. For this purpose, major satisfaction, stress, and resilience tests were conducted on 221 students at K University and the results were analyzed. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and reliability analysis using the SPSS program. As a result of the study, college students' major satisfaction and stress showed a negative correlation, and the negative correlation was especially high with academic stress and future problem stress. In terms of stress and resilience of college students, the correlation between positive resilience and stress was particularly high. College students' major satisfaction and resilience were found to be positively correlated, and resilience's interpersonal skills were found to be highly positively correlated with major satisfaction. Factors that affect the resilience of college students are both major satisfaction and stress. It was found that the higher the major satisfaction and the lower the stress, the higher the resilience. The relative influence of major satisfaction and stress showed that major satisfaction had a greater impact on resilience than stress. In future research, qualitative research such as FGI (Focus Group Interview) will be needed in addition to research to improve college students' stress management ability and resilience and quantitative research on major satisfaction, stress, and resilience targeting more diverse groups.
