Resilience is one's ability to adapt to internal and external stressors and cope with challenges encountered throughout life.
Our work aimed to determine resilience levels at the Medical University of Ibn El Jazzar-Sousse (Faculty of Medicine of Sousse) Tunisia and to identify the key factors influencing resilience in order to help students improve their college experience, as well as their future career and eventually their quality of life.
It's a cross-sectional study conducted during October and November 2021 at the FMS including all undergraduate medical students using a questionnaire elaborated in French language and composed of 02 major parts Socio-demographic and general health data and The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Data were collected using Google Forms platform via social networks (Facebook students' groups).
A total of 225 participants filled the questionnaire; the mean age was 21±5 years. Among them 75.1% were females (sex ratio=0.33). The total resilience mean score was 56.36±12.43. Comparison of resilience scores according to different covariates showed that resilience was positively associated with male gender, extracurricular activities, relationships with both colleagues and teachers and physical exercise, but negatively associated with imposed course of study and perception of both study difficulties and personal academic results. No correlation was found between resilience score and age.
This work encourages university administrators to devote more resources to promote resilience, and it emphasizes the importance of implementing new educational and entertaining interventions to improve students' ability to deal with academic challenges.
心理韧性是一个人适应内部和外部压力源并应对一生中遇到的挑战的能力。
我们的工作旨在确定突尼斯伊本·埃尔·贾扎尔-苏塞医科大学（苏塞医学院）学生的心理韧性水平，并找出影响心理韧性的关键因素，以帮助学生改善他们的大学经历、未来职业以及最终的生活质量。
这是一项于2021年10月和11月在苏塞医学院进行的横断面研究，纳入了所有本科医学生，使用一份用法语编写的问卷，该问卷由两个主要部分组成，即社会人口统计学和一般健康数据以及康纳-戴维森心理韧性量表（CD-RISC）。数据通过社交网络（脸书学生群组）使用谷歌表单平台收集。
共有225名参与者填写了问卷；平均年龄为21±5岁。其中75.1%为女性（性别比=0.33）。心理韧性总平均分是56.36±12.43。根据不同协变量对心理韧性得分进行比较，结果显示心理韧性与男性性别、课外活动、与同事和教师的关系以及体育锻炼呈正相关，但与规定的课程、对学习困难和个人学业成绩的认知呈负相关。心理韧性得分与年龄之间未发现相关性。
这项工作鼓励大学管理人员投入更多资源来提升心理韧性，并强调实施新的教育和娱乐干预措施以提高学生应对学业挑战能力的重要性。
