Introduction: The study aimed to translate and validate the Academic Resilience Scale (ARS) into Bengali to assess its applicability among Bangladeshi school-going students. The ARS, originally developed by Martin and Marsh, measures students' ability to cope with academic challenges. Given the lack of a validated Bengali version, this study sought to fill this gap and ensure the scale's reliability and validity in a new cultural context. Materials and Methods The research employed a cross-sectional design involving 234 students (111 males, 123 females) aged 12–18 years from two schools in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The ARS was translated through a rigorous process involving two forward translations, two back translations, and a comparison of the original and translated versions. Data were collected using both the original and translated ARS, with a one-week interval between administrations. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, Cronbach’s alpha, and independent sample t-tests were used for analysis, employing SPSS 29.0. Results Descriptive statistics indicated similar mean scores for the original ARS (M = 23.78, SD = 7.456) and the translated ARS (M = 23.77, SD = 7.516), reflecting comparable levels of academic resilience. Pearson correlations between items on the original and translated scales were high (r = .909 to .941, p < .01), and Cronbach’s alpha was 0.747 for the original and 0.754 for the translated scale, demonstrating acceptable reliability. No significant gender differences were found in resilience scores for either version. Conclusion The Bengali-translated ARS is a reliable and valid tool for measuring academic resilience among Bangladeshi students. This study provides a crucial resource for future research and interventions aimed at enhancing academic resilience in this demographic. Future research should address the study's limitations and explore resilience factors in broader contexts.

Introduction: This study aimed to translate and validate the Academic Resilience Scale (ARS) for use among Bangladeshi school students in Bengali. The ARS, developed by Martin and Marsh, measures students' ability to cope with academic challenges. This study addresses the gap in validated Bengali instruments for assessing academic resilience. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional design study involving 234 students aged 12-18 years from two schools in Dhaka, Bangladesh, was used. The ARS underwent a rigorous translation process, which included two forward translations, two back translations, and comparisons of the original and translated versions. The data collected were collected by administering both the original and translated ARSs, with a one-week interval between administrations. Analysis was conducted using SPSS 29.0, employing descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, Cronbach’s alpha, and independent sample t-tests. Results: Descriptive statistics revealed mean scores for the original ARS (M = 23.78, SD = 7.456) and the translated ARS (M = 23.77, SD = 7.516), indicating similar levels of academic resilience. Pearson correlations between the original and translated items ranged from .909 to .941 (p < .01). Cronbach’s alpha was 0.747 for the original scale and 0.754 for the translated ARS, demonstrating acceptable reliability. No significant sex differences in resilience scores were found for either version. Conclusion: The Bengali-translated ARS is a reliable and valid tool for measuring academic resilience among Bangladeshi students. This validated scale offers a valuable resource for future research and interventions aimed at improving academic resilience. Future studies should address limitations and explore resilience factors in diverse contexts.

Suicide accounts for 33% of deaths of women during the postnatal period in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Resilience refers to an ability to adapt and recover from adversity or misfortune. Resilience building against mental health challenges during pregnancy and the postnatal period is critical for women to raise their child efficiently and maintain a healthy life. The exploration of maternal resilience against mental health challenges including its developmental processes and the determinants of its successful or unsuccessful cultivation among mothers during pregnancy and childbirth is of paramount importance. Understanding why a subset of mothers effectively develops resilience while others significantly struggle is critical for devising targeted interventions and support mechanisms aimed at improving maternal well-being. This inquiry not only seeks to delineate the factors that contribute to or hinder the development of resilience but also aims to inform the creation of comprehensive support systems that can bolster maternal health outcomes. This paper endeavors to present a comprehensive analysis of maternal resilience, aiming to cultivate a nuanced and profound understanding of the concept within the framework of previous traumatic events and adverse pregnancy outcomes in LMICs. The eight-step method approach proposed by Walker and Avant was utilized for this concept analysis. Several defining attributes were identified in the analysis including social adaptation, support system, optimistic approach, and mindfulness. This analysis contributes to knowledge advancement regarding maternal resilience and provides nurses and other healthcare professionals with a clear understanding of the concept of maternal resilience to help promote resilience among mothers.
