“…Another study among 430 Chinese adolescents and the perceived impact of the pandemic showed both psychological distress and posttraumatic growth. Resilience and meaning in life served as protective factors for mental health [ 37 ]. Furthermore, in a study in 1488 Chinese teenagers, creative ideational behavior was positively related to intrusive rumination during the pandemic [ 38 ].…”

Purpose of review In order to promote optimal development of children and adolescents at risk for psychiatric disorders, a better understanding of the concept resilience is crucial. Here, we provide an overview of recent work on clinical and epidemiological correlates of resilience and mental health in children and adolescents. Recent findings Our systematic literature search revealed 25 studies that unanimously show that higher levels of resilience are related to fewer mental health problems, despite the heterogeneity of study populations and instruments. Correlates of resilience included multisystem factors, such as social, cultural, family and individual aspects, which is in line with the multisystem approach as described by recent resilience theories. Longitudinal studies are scarce but confirm the dynamical character of resilience and mental health. The application of longitudinal studies and innovative measurement techniques will improve our understanding on the cascade effects of stressors on resilience and mental health outcomes. Summary Resilience is strongly associated with mental health in children and adolescents and deserves a more prominent role in research, prevention programs and routine clinical care. Including social, cultural and family context in the evaluation of resilience is of great value, as this can identify targets for early and preventive interventions.

“…Furthermore, they come from impoverished families with no proper access to qualified education. Similarly, a study on 430 students in China describes that 37.5% of participants have successfully obtained the growth phase post-Covid-19 trauma while also accentuate that resilience and life values become the essential defender for mental health (Yu et al, 2021). Besides, the study also explains that the attainment of resilience highest stage can be difficult during a pandemic period.…”

After a year of the Covid-19 pandemic, online learning remains to be carried out in Indonesia. In this situation, college students have to survive with excellent resilience amid various restraints. This study investigates the poor college students' resilience phase in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the qualitative inquiry narrative method, this study involved 30 college students from Universitas Mulawarman as the participants. The participants were selected through the purposive sampling technique and interviewed via phone call. The analysis process was carried out using the induction and deduction process, while the analysis was completed based on the field data and referred to the theory in the deduction process. The research results show that college students experience three resilience phases in online learning: survival, adaptation, and recovery. The survival stage occurs in the initial months of online learning, while the adaptation phase occurs in the first six months of online learning. From the tenths month of online learning, students have reached the recovery stage. Following this research finding, guidance and counseling services in the universities are required to facilitate poor students to enhance their survivability during this pandemic.

“…Positive associations of PPTG and distress have been reported in a community sample in Spain (PTSS; Vazquez et al, 2021 ), a sample of nurses in Taiwan (burnout; Chen et al, 2021 ), a sample of dental personnel in Canada, France and Israel (depression and worry; Uziel et al, 2021 ), a sample of community residents in Greece (perceived stress; Koliouli and Canellopoulos, 2021 ), a national sample of US veterans (PTSD symptoms; Pietrzak et al, 2021 ), a snowball sample of people in Turkey (PTSS and perceived depreciation; Ikizer et al, 2021 ), and an online sample in the US (mental health; Kowalski et al, 2021 ). In China, a study of nurses and the general population found PPTG was unrelated to anxiety ( Li et al, 2021 ) and another of high school graduates found PPTG unrelated to anxiety or depression ( Yu et al, 2021 ). In one study, of a German community sample, PPTG was positively associated with life satisfaction ( Büssing et al, 2020 ) and in another, of caregivers of children in Portugal and the UK, PPTG was related to higher wellbeing but unrelated to anxiety ( Stallard et al, 2021 ).…”

Perceiving that one has grown in positive ways following highly stressful experiences (perceived posttraumatic growth; PPTG) is common and sometimes--but not always--related to psychological wellbeing. However, PPTG is typically studied cross-sectionally and well after the stressful experience has passed; how PPTG might relate to wellbeing over time in an unprecedented, ongoing worldwide disaster such as the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown. Thus, the current study sought to answer whether, in the midst of the pandemic, PPTG relates to subsequent wellbeing, broadly defined. Participants were N = 1544 MTurk workers who completed a five-wave (T1-T5) six-month longitudinal study. Current analyses focused on T2-T5 ( n s = 860–712). At each time point, participants completed self-report measures of PPTG and wellbeing (depression, anxiety, stress, positive states of mind, alcohol use, posttraumatic stress). In cross-lagged panel models, PPTG was largely unrelated to subsequent wellbeing. Somewhat more evidence was found that increasing distress led to increases in PPTG, suggesting perceptions of growth may serve as a coping mechanism. PPTG does not appear to benefit adjustment to the COVID-19 pandemic and may simply reflect efforts to manage distress.
