Aims: This study explores the impact of resilience on the psychological well-being and distress of university students. Given the rising mental health challenges in higher education, resilience is increasingly recognized as a crucial factor in promoting student well-being and mitigating distress.
Method: The study employs a quantitative research design with a sample of 1,483 students, utilizing validated resilience and mental health scales. Data were analyzed using multivariate regression to examine resilience's influence on well-being dimensions (positive emotions, social relationships, life satisfaction) and distress factors (anxiety, depression, loss of control).
Findings: The findings indicate that resilience significantly enhances psychological well-being, with the most substantial effects on life satisfaction and emotional regulation. Moreover, resilience plays a protective role in reducing psychological distress, particularly in preventing loss of control and mitigating anxiety and depression. These results emphasize resilience as a key psychological resource in higher education, highlighting its role in fostering adaptive coping strategies and emotional stability.
Conclusion: The study underscores the need for resilience-building interventions within academic settings to enhance student mental health. These findings provide a strong foundation for implementing resilience-focused health promotion programs in educational settings, such as stress management training, coping workshops, and institutional mental health policies to support student well-being. Future research should explore resilience’s longitudinal effects and its interaction with other psychological variables to further develop targeted mental health programs for students.
