| Abstract | Objective: To study the level and relationship of resilience and mental health in urban late adolescents. Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. The participants are undergraduate students in Navamindradhiraj University who are between the ages of 18 21 years. The outcome measures include general personal data, resilience quotient questionnaire and depression anxiety stress scale (DASS-21). The statistical analyses are Pearson Chi-square and multiple regression analysis. Results: From the total participants of 425, most of them is female (82.6%), domicile outside of Bangkok (59.8%), lives with family (74.6%), the eldest child (52.9%), with two siblings (46.4%), studied in health sciences (90.6%), average GPA 3.32 (S.D. = 0.43) and enrolled in a direct admission system (70.6%). Most of them had resilience quotient at normal level (56.5%). The average resilience scores were 54.6 ? 5.92 (mean ? S.D.). Mental health problems were mostly anxiety (65.6 %) followed by stress (58.8 %), and depression (51.3 %). The extremely severe mental health problems among participants were found in anxiety (7.8 %), stress (19.5 %), and depression (8.0 %). Resilience is inversely related to stress, anxiety and depression (r= -.399, -.345 and -.345 respectively, p<0.01). From stepwise multiple regression analysis, resilience in the domain of will power together with emotional stability can predict depression and stress. The variance of depression is 29.4 percent (R2= 0.294, p<0.01). And the variance of stress is 16.6 percent (R2= 0.166, p<0.01). Will power domain is the key predictor of depression (? =-0.318, p<0.01) and emotional stability domain is the key predictor of stress (? = -0.271, p<0.01). Emotional stability domain is also the only domain that can statistically predict anxiety (? = -0.343, p<0.01). The variance of depression is 11.7 percent (R2= 0.117, p<0.01). Conclusion: Resilience is an important protective factor for late adolescents' mental health problems. Therefore, in order to reduce stress, anxiety and depression in late adolescents, an enhancement of resilience is beneficial, particularly in the domain of emotional instability and will power. |
