Abstract

Objective: When individuals encounter stressful and potentially life-threatening situations, they often experience significant tension that can be challenging to manage without adequate emotional regulation and effective coping mechanisms. This study seeks to explore the function of coping strategies as a mediating factor in the connection between stressful experiences and resilience in university students.
Method: The research population consists of all university students enrolled in the academic year 2017-2018, characterized by a basic correlation approach. A total of 373 students were chosen using Morgan’s table and a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data collection was done utilizing the resilience questionnaire (CD-RSC), the coping strategies questionnaire (CISS), and the stressful events questionnaire (LEQ-12). Research hypotheses were tested using correlation analysis, path analysis, and simultaneous multiple regression techniques.
Results: The findings indicate a significant negative correlation between stressful events and resilience (p < 0.01), while a positive correlation exists between problem-oriented strategies and resilience (p < 0.01). Additionally, there is a negative association between emotion-oriented strategies and resilience (p < 0.01), as well as between avoidance strategies and resilience (p < 0.01). Furthermore, a negative relationship is observed between problem-oriented strategies and stressful events (p < 0.01), alongside a positive correlation between emotion-oriented strategies and stressful events (p < 0.01), and a positive relationship between avoidance strategies and stressful events (p < 0.01).
Conclusions: According to the results, teaching coping strategies can lead to increased resilience.

Abstract [Persian]

زمینه و هدف: زمانی که شخص با رویدادهای استرس زا و تأثیرگذار بر روند زندگی مواجه می شود، تـنش‌هـایی را تجربه می کند که در صورت نداشتن مهارتهای تنظیم هیجان مناسب و مقابله مـؤثر، تـاب آوردن در برابر این شرایط برای او بسیار دشوار خواهد بود. این پژوهش با هدف تعیین نقش راهبردهای مقابله ای به عنوان عامل میانجی در ارتباط بین رویدادهای استرس زا و تاب آوری در دانشجویان دانشگاه انجام گرفت.
روش پژوهش: پژوهش حاضر از نوع بنیادی-همبستگی می باشد. جامعه آماری این پژوهش شامل تمامی دانشجویان یک دانشگاه در سال تحصیلی 97-1396 بودند. از بین جامعه مذکور با استفاده از روش نمونه گیری خوشه‌ای چند مرحله‌ای و با توجه به جدول مورگان تعداد 373 نفر از دانشجویان به عنوان نمونه انتخاب شدند. ابزارهای اندازه گیری پژوهش شامل پرسش نامه تاب‌آوری کونور و دیویدسون(2003)، پرسشنامه راهبردهای مقابله‌ای اندلر و پارکر(1990) و پرسشنامه رویدادهای استرس زا بروگا (1990) بود. به منظور بررسی فرضیه های پژوهش از روش همبستگی، رگرسیون چندگانه همزمان و تحلیل مسیر استفاده شد.
نتایج: طبق نتایج بدست آمده بین رویدادهای استرس زا و تاب آوری (01/0>p) و بین راهبرد های مقابله‌ای با تاب آوری و رویدادهای استرس زا رابطه وجود دارد (01/0>p).
نتیجه گیری: با توجه به نتایج بدست آمده، آموزش راهبردهای مقابله ای می‌تواند منجر به افزایش تاب آوری شود.
