Abstract

Abstract Introduction : Today's students of healthcare professional courses are the pillars of future healthcare delivery system. Research studies have found that they are affected with psychological disorders. Objectives The objectives of the study were to assess the levels of well-being, resilience, and its relationship. Materials and Methods A descriptive correlational research design was adopted to assess the well-being and resilience among undergraduate students. A total of 135 participants studying in all levels of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.Sc Nursing), and Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) were selected by disproportionate stratified random sampling technique. The tools used for data collection were demographic Proforma, Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, and positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment (PERMA) scale. The reliability of the tool was tested by using Cronbach's alpha formula that was found to have a score of 0.925 for Connor Davidson Resilience Scale and a score of 0.916 for PERMA Scale. Pilot study was conducted to find out the feasibility of the study. Statistical Analysis The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 20.0. Results The mean well-being and resilience of the study participants were 160.34 and 73.67, respectively. Majority (49.6%) had normal level of well-being and greater resilience (77%). The correlation was 0.237 and it was statistically significant ( p < 0.05). Conclusion There was an association between level of well-being and selected demographic variables such as age, education, level of study, religion, and residence, whereas level of resilience had significant association with education, religion, and socioeconomic status. Students' resilience can be promoted by implementing educational strategies and creating a supportive environment.

某高校本科生的幸福感与适应力

摘要简介：今天的医疗保健专业课程学生是未来医疗保健提供系统的支柱。研究发现他们有心理障碍。目标这项研究的目的是评估幸福感、恢复力及其关系的水平。材料和方法采用描述性相关研究设计来评估本科生的幸福感和恢复力。共有135名参与者通过不成比例的分层随机抽样技术选择了医学学士和外科学士（MBBS）、牙科外科学士（BDS）、物理治疗学士（BPT）、护理理学学士（B.Sc Nursing）和药学学士（B.Pharm）。用于数据收集的工具是人口统计形式表、康纳·戴维森弹性量表和积极情绪、参与、关系、意义和成就（PERMA）量表。该工具的可靠性通过使用Cronbachα公式进行测试，发现Connor Davidson弹性量表的得分为0.925，PERMA量表的分数为0.916。进行了初步研究，以查明该研究的可行性。统计分析数据采用SPSS 20.0版进行描述性和推断统计学分析。后果研究参与者的平均幸福感和恢复力分别为160.34和73.67。大多数人（49.6%）的幸福感水平正常，恢复力更强（77%）。相关系数为0.237，具有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。结论幸福水平与选定的人口变量（如年龄、教育程度、学习水平、宗教和居住地）之间存在关联，而韧性水平与教育、宗教和社会经济地位之间存在显著关联。可以通过实施教育策略和创造支持性环境来提高学生的适应力。
