“…In particular, higher resilience was found to be characteristic among adolescents with low levels of socioemotional problems in comparison to other mental health risk groups, including emotional, behavioral, and high levels of socioemotional problems groups. In general, the findings of the current study are in line with previous research, indicating that resilience predicts different levels of mental health (Miroševič et al, 2019;van der Meulen et al, 2020). More particularly, resilience was confirmed to be negatively linked to socioemotional problems when measured with the same scales (e.g., Huang et al, 2019).…”

“…The evidence of the validity of RS-14 based on relations to other variables was also addressed across the studies as a part of psychometric characteristics aimed to predict psychological difficulties. In general, as the meta-analyses or systematic reviews show, resilience is related to better mental health and functioning (van der Meulen et al, 2020), the quality of life, lower rates of anxiety, and depression (Miroševič et al, 2019). The results of the studies also indicated that emotional, and behavioral problems were associated with lower resilience rates (Huang et al, 2019).…”

In the current study, we provided the evidence of satisfactory validity of the RS-14 scale in the Lithuanian adolescents’ sample (N = 1299; Mage = 14.24; SDage = 1.26), based on its internal structure, and relations to other variables. The results of the study indicated an acceptable model fit for a single-factor structure of the scale with a high internal consistency (McDonald’s omega = 0.89). We also confirmed the scalar measurement invariance across groups of adolescents in terms of their age (i.e., early and middle adolescence) and mental health profile as well as partial scalar gender invariance. Adolescents characterized by high levels of socio-emotional problems reported lower levels of resilience, in comparison to adolescents that reported low levels of socio-emotional problems. However, the data indicated that adolescents from emotional problems and behavioral problems groups cannot be differentiated with the RS-14 scale.

“…As a result, resilience is concerned with how learners can recover after a challenging situation or deal with it ( Portnoy et al, 2018 ). Resilience is a process that concentrates on the association between learners and their setting and measures the relationships between various aspects of mental wellbeing and academic achievement ( Van der Meulen et al, 2020 ). In addition to having the capability to adapt to difficult circumstances, resilience can be understood as the power to adapt to changes in circumstances ( Southwick et al, 2014 ).…”

The Role of Students’ Self-Regulated Learning, Grit, and Resilience in Second Language Learning

It has been established that grit has a fundamental role in the learning and teaching process since gritty learners are more likely to take part in classroom activities and they are also motivated to deal with challenges in difficult circumstances. In addition, to guard against these hardships as well as self-control in responding to unpredicted circumstances, a similar construct arouses in positive psychology called resilience that describes perseverance and emphasizes people’s abilities. Besides, language learners’ engagement and performance in the foreign or second language classroom can be improved through self-regulated learning (SRL) which is viewed as one of the most inspected issues in learning and psychology. A present review has been conducted to scrutinize the relationship between language learners’ SRL and learners’ resilience and grit based on their positive theoretical relationship with educational success. Consequently, the issue of educator training and administrative training is illuminated through several aspects.

“…Further, a review on the role of resilience as a protective factor regarding anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that "resilient" coping strategies to deal with COVID-19-related distress are common [53]. However, evidence on the nature of the association of resilience and psychological distress is still inconclusive [54][55][56] and more research is needed to identify effective interventions [53]. Dorman-Ilan et al [32] found that relatives who did not feel protected by the hospital might suffer from increased anxiety even one month after patients' discharge.…”

Prevalence and factors associated with psychological burden in COVID-19 patients and their relatives: A prospective observational cohort study

et al. 2021

Background Due to the dramatic measures accompanying isolation and the general uncertainty and fear associated with COVID-19, patients and relatives may be at high risk for adverse psychological outcomes. Until now there has been limited research focusing on the prevalence of psychological distress and associated factors in COVID-19 patients and their relatives. The objective of our study was to assess psychological distress in COVID-19 patients and their relatives 30 days after hospital discharge. Methods In this prospective observational cohort study at two Swiss tertiary-care hospitals we included consecutive adult patients hospitalized between March and June 2020 for a proven COVID-19 and their relatives. Psychological distress was defined as symptoms of anxiety and/or depression measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), i.e., a score of ≥8 on the depression and/or anxiety subscale. We further evaluated symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), defined as a score of ≥1.5 on the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). Results Among 126 included patients, 24 (19.1%) had psychological distress and 10 (8.7%) had symptoms of PTSD 30 days after hospital discharge. In multivariate logistic regression analyses three factors were independently associated with psychological distress in patients: resilience (OR 0.82; 95%CI 0.71 to 0.94; p = 0.005), high levels of perceived stress (OR 1.21; 95%CI 1.06 to 1.38; p = 0.006) and low frequency of contact with relatives (OR 7.67; 95%CI 1.42 to 41.58; p = 0.018). The model showed good discrimination, with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.92. Among 153 relatives, 35 (22.9%) showed symptoms of psychological distress, and 3 (2%) of PTSD. For relatives, resilience was negatively associated (OR 0.85; 95%CI 0.75 to 0.96; p = 0.007), whereas perceived overall burden caused by COVID-19 was positively associated with psychological distress (OR 1.72; 95%CI 1.31 to 2.25; p<0.001). The overall model also had good discrimination, with an AUC of 0.87. Conclusion A relevant number of COVID-19 patients as well as their relatives exhibited psychological distress 30 days after hospital discharge. These results might aid in development of strategies to prevent psychological distress in COVID-19 patients and their relatives.
