Abstract

ABSTRACT Based on the vast challenges college students experience, and the current mental health crisis on college campuses, the current study investigated how student-support providers assist and encourage students to enact resilience. We analyzed data from interviews with 25 campus student-support leaders in regard to how they support resilience in college students. Consistent with the communication theory of resilience (Buzzanell, P. M. (2010). Resilience: Talking, resisting, and imagining new normalcies into being. Journal of Communication, 60(1), 1–14. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-2466.2009.01469.x), participants discussed interactions and programming that aligned with all five communicative processes (crafting normalcy, affirming identity anchors, maintaining and using social networks, finding alternative logics, legitimizing negative feelings while foregrounding productive action). Further analysis led to four themes, which helped us develop a framework for supporting student resilience that included mattering and belonging, mentorship, reframing and reorientation, and reflection and finding strengths. Using this framework, we discuss theoretical and practical ideas for supporting students through the challenges associated with the college environment.

“这总是关于挑战和支持”：高等教育中恢复力的交流过程

摘要基于大学生面临的巨大挑战和当前大学校园的心理健康危机，本研究调查了学生支持提供者如何帮助和鼓励学生建立韧性。我们分析了对25名校园学生支持领导者的采访数据，了解他们如何支持大学生的韧性。与弹性的沟通理论一致（Buzzanell，P.M.（2010）。韧性：交谈、抵抗和想象新常态的存在。《传播学杂志》，60（1），1-14。https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-2466.2009.01469.x)参与者讨论了与所有五个沟通过程相一致的互动和编程（塑造常态、确认身份锚、维护和使用社交网络、寻找替代逻辑、使负面情绪合法化，同时突出生产性行动）。进一步的分析得出了四个主题，这有助于我们制定一个支持学生恢复力的框架，其中包括重视和归属感、指导、重塑和重新定位，以及反思和寻找优势。利用这个框架，我们讨论了支持学生应对与大学环境相关的挑战的理论和实践想法。
