Intervention Effects of Life Documentary Course on University Students' Psychological Resilience

Nowadays, with the increasingly fierce International competition in the society and the increasing pace of social life, the pressures of university students have increased significantly.The number of mental health problems that develop is also increasing, affecting the health of university students themselves and the safety of campus life at university.People react differently to stressful events, with some experiencing adverse psychological reactions such as depression and frustration in the face of stress, or even choosing to avoid the problem by self-harm and suicide in the face of stress, while others appear to be resilient and show stable trajectories of psychological and social functioning.Resilience has been defined by researchers in two main ways.First, resilience refers to the good mental health outcomes following an adverse or stressful life event (Kalisch et al., 2019).Second, resilience is a trait that reflects the ability of individuals to positively adapt to situation when faced with stress and adversity (Connor & Davidson, 2003).Being resilient has become an ideological goal, often characterized as pathways for overcoming traumatic experiences, self-growth, or increased productivity (Blayney, 2019).As a positive psychological factor, resilience plays an important role in fostering a sense of well-being and life satisfaction.Research has shown that individuals with higher rates of depression, anxiety or negative emotions have lower levels of psychological resilience, while individuals with higher levels of life satisfaction have higher levels of psychological resilience (Hu et al., 2015)。In addition, psychological resilience has been shown to be associated with many mental disorders, psychological resilience is negatively associated with mental health, and psychological resilience is negatively associated with anxiety (Ko & Chang, 2019).Poole(2017)found that the association between Abstract: The mental health problems of college students around the world are increasingly prominent, and mental health is closely related to individual Psychological resilience.Therefore, this study attempts to explore the current situation of college students' Psychological resilience and carry out educational experimental intervention to it, trying to find effective ways to improve college students' Psychological resilience.This study conducted a life education intervention experiment in college students' psychological resilience using documentary films as the carrier, and examined the intervention effects.Participants were divided into an experimental group (n =170) and a control group (n = 80) based on whether they attended the "Film and Psychological Life" course.The experimental group received a 17-week intervention, while the control group did not receive any relevant intervention.In the first and last weeks of the intervention, participants from both groups underwent psychological resilience assessments using the Ego-Resiliency Scale.The results showed that before the intervention, the psychological resilience score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P< 0.05).After the intervention, the psychological resilience score of the experimental group significantly increased (t=-2.410;P< 0.05), with no statistically significant difference compared to the control group.The results indicate that using documentary films as a carrier for life education intervention can effectively improve college students' psychological resilience and has potential for further application.Therefore, families, schools, and college students themselves should pay attention to carrying out life education.
