A scoping review of nursing interventions of improving resilience among university students during online learning

Advancing Resilience in University Students During Online Learning: A Scoping Review of Nursing Interventions by Universitas Padjadjaran Researchers

The COVID-19 pandemic forced a rapid shift from traditional offline to online learning, leading to increased mental health challenges among university students worldwide. In response, nursing scholars Rohman Hikmat, Iyus Yosep,S.Kp.,M.Si.,M.Sc.Ph.D., and Ai Mardhiyah, S.Kp.,M.Kes, Ph.D. conducted a scoping review exploring nursing interventions designed to enhance resilience in university students during online learning.

This review, published in BMC Nursing (2025), analyzed 14 studies focusing on various intervention strategies, including resilience-building programs, mindfulness and yoga, positive psychology, social skills training, and simulation-based curricular approaches. These interventions demonstrated significant positive effects on students’ ability to adapt to the challenges posed by online learning.

The study also identified research gaps, such as optimal intervention duration and the need for multidisciplinary approaches, underscoring the necessity for further rigorous research. The holistic perspective adopted by nursing interventions addresses not only psychological resilience but also integrates physical and social well-being.

This research aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and 4 (Quality Education) by promoting mental health and academic success through innovative nursing practices.
