Abstract

Background: The psychological resilience of university students majoring in long-term-care (LTC)-related disciplines is crucial for workforce retention and effective care provision in this field. This study aims to investigate the differences in levels of psychological resilience among these students in Taiwan.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 258 participants selected via stratified random sampling from 23 universities across Taiwan from November 2021 to November 2022, representing a diverse educational context. The research instrument used was the Resilience Scale for Adults, a validated psychological resilience questionnaire. The independent variables included participants' demographic data, while the dependent variables encompassed five dimensions of resilience: personal strength, family cohesion, social resources, social skills, future organizational style, and total resilience score. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis.

Results: Participants with LTC work experience and leadership roles in campus clubs demonstrated significantly higher scores in personal strength (LTC: t = 2.04, p = 0.04, d = 0.29; leadership: t = 2.89, p = 0.01, d = 0.45), social resources (leadership: t = 2.47, p = 0.01, d = 0.34), social skills (leadership: t = 4.51, p = 0.01, d = 0.62), and future organizational style (LTC: t = 2.72, p = 0.01, d = 0.39). Higher academic performance was linked to greater personal strength, social resources, future organizational style, and total resilience (F = 4.69-3.12, p < 0.05). Regression analysis confirmed the predictive value of leadership experience and LTC work on various resilience dimensions. These results underscore the importance of practical exposure and extracurricular engagement in fostering resilience.

Conclusion: Students engaged in club activities, leadership roles, and LTC work displayed higher psychological resilience. Educational institutions should foster club participation, leadership experiences, and partnerships with workplaces to enhance student resilience and professional readiness.

台湾长期照护相关专业大学生心理弹性调查。

背景：长期护理相关专业大学生的心理弹性对该领域的劳动力保留和有效的护理提供至关重要。本研究旨在探讨台湾地区大学生心理弹性水平的差异。方法：本横断面研究采用分层随机抽样方法，于2021年11月至2022年11月从台湾23所大学中选取258名参与者，代表不同的教育背景。研究工具为成人心理弹性量表，是一份经过验证的心理弹性问卷。自变量包括被试的人口统计数据，因变量包括个人力量、家庭凝聚力、社会资源、社会技能、未来组织风格和心理弹性总分五个维度。数据分析采用描述性统计、独立样本t检验、方差分析和多元回归分析。结果：具有LTC工作经历和校园社团领导角色的被试在个人力量方面得分显著高于其他被试(LTC: t = 2.04, p = 0.04, d = 0.29；领导:t = 2.89, p = 0.01, d = 0.45),社会资源(领导:t = 2.47, p = 0.01, d = 0.34),社交能力(领导力:t = 4.51, p = 0.01, d = 0.62),和未来的组织风格(LTC: t = 2.72, p = 0.01, d = 0.39)。较高的学习成绩与较高的个人力量、社会资源、未来的组织风格和总弹性有关（F = 4.69-3.12, p）。结论：从事社团活动、领导角色和LTC工作的学生表现出较高的心理弹性。教育机构应该促进社团参与、领导经验和与工作场所的伙伴关系，以增强学生的适应能力和职业准备。
