Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of resilience on academic stress in dental hygiene students focused on the mediating effects of self-esteem.
Methods: The subjects in this study were 208 selected dental hygiene students in colleges located in Y region of U city. A self-administered survey was conducted by 215 students from May 1 to 15, 2016. The study instruments included resilience, academic stress, and self-esteem.
Results: The dental hygiene students got a mean of 4.40 in resilience. Among the subfactors of resilience, they got 4.42 in personal usefulness and 4.38 in self-receptivity. They got a mean of 3.29 in self-esteem and 2.76 in academic stress. Resilience was positively correlated with self-esteem (4=0.55, p<0.01) and negatively with academic stress (r=-0.28, p<0.01). Personal usefulness and usefulness of oneself had a positive correlation with self-esteem (r=0.51, 0.52, p<0.01) and had a negative correlation with academic stress (r=-0.25, -0.28, p<0.01). Self-esteem was negatively correlated with academic stress (r=-0.32, p<0.01). As for the mediating effects of self-esteem on the relationship between resilience and academic stress, self-esteem had perfect mediating effects on the relationship between the two.
Conclusions: The results suggested that the self-esteem of the dental hygiene students played an important mediating role in the relationship between resilience and academic stress.
