University 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.
Seventeen 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.
Eight 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").
s: 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.
在新冠疫情期间，大学生是全球受影响最严重的群体之一，经历了压力、焦虑和抑郁情绪的增加。据报道，心理韧性是降低新冠疫情威胁影响的最具预测性的因素。然而，新冠疫情期间大学生的心理韧性并未受到太多关注；本研究旨在填补这一研究空白。
17名在新冠疫情期间经历了至少一年大学生活的韩国二、四年级学生于2021年6月至7月参与了本研究。本研究包括三次焦点小组访谈，访谈进行了录音并逐字转录，数据采用定性内容分析法进行分析。
从参与者回答中提炼出的三个主要主题中出现了八个概念类别：1）阻碍心理韧性的因素：失去经历、危险情况经历、不确定性扩大和累积压力；2）增强心理韧性的策略：改变与创新、失去与对抗、超越；3）增强心理韧性的结果：适应不断变化的世界（“新常态”）。
本研究发现了几个阻碍心理韧性的因素以及进一步支持心理韧性的策略。大学和相关社区组织可以利用这些发现来制定教育计划和干预措施，以增强大学生的心理韧性，帮助他们更好地应对未来挑战并克服逆境。
