Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the determinants of resilience among nursing students who enrolled during the corona disaster. A total of 165 responses were obtained from students affiliated with two nursing colleges in prefecture A using a self-administered, unmarked questionnaire. The basic attributes were compared across different grades using simple tabulation, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the chi-square test. Furthermore, the two-dimensional resilience scale was assessed across grades using simple tabulation and the Mann-Whitney U test. In addition, a multiple regression analysis using the stepwise method was conducted with resilience as the dependent variable and basic attributes and social support as independent variables. The results of multiple regression analysis indicated that all subfactors of acquired resilience were associated with friend support, highlighting its significance in fostering resilience.
