Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify resilience`s mediating effect between acculturative stress and depression among Chinese students in Korea.
Methods: Between February and May 2012, 276 Chinese students from 3 universities located in Chungnam province participated in the current study using a questionnaire survey. Data was analysed using SPSS 18.0 program.
Results: The mean score of acculturative stress, resilience, and depression was 82.7, 129.0, and 15.6 respectively. The acculturative stress was significantly related to perceived health status (F=10.57, p<.001), TOPIK (t=7.55, p=.006) and the major (F=2.87, p=.024). Resilience was related to the race (F=13.49, p<.001), perceived heath status (F=10.57, p<.001), tuition (F=8.52, p<.001), and level of Koran language (F=5.91, p=.003). Resilience correlated to acculturative stress (r=-0.21, p<.001) and depression(r=-0.48, p<.001) by showing a mediating effect between accuturative stress and depression.
Conclusion: In order to improve resilience as a mediating factor with depression of Chinese students in Korea, we suggest the development various programs about external supporting programs.
