This study aimed to determine how resilience influenced the quality of life among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings revealed that participants' resilience was normal, which had a moderate impact on the quality of life of nursing students. The impact of COVID-19 on quality of life significantly differed with year of education and university.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the quality of life of individuals around the world, including health care professionals. There has been little research that examines the role of resilience concerning the impact of COVID-19 on the quality of life of nursing students. This study aimed to determine how resilience influenced the quality of life among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: A cross-sectional research design was adopted for this study. A total of two hundred sixty-eight nursing students from three universities, South India responded in the web-based survey. Data was collected using self -reported questionnaires in June 2021. Results: Our findings revealed that the participants' resilience was normal, which had a moderate impact on the quality of life of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 impact on QoL significantly differed with year of education (F = 3.087; p < 0.02) and university (F = 6.697, p < 0.001). Bivariate analysis revealed significant inverse relationships between the impact of COVID-19 on quality of life with resilience (r =-0.259; p < 0.001) and perceived knowledge on COVID-19(r =-0.168; p < 0.006). Conclusion: In our study, we found that resilience had a moderate impact on the quality of life of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it is important to promote students' resilience and improve their quality of life during stressful situations.
