Resilience, Psychological Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Resilience Skills Enhancement (RISE) Training Among University Students: A Sequential Mixed Methods Study
Background University students experience high levels of stress and this may negatively impact their mental health, coping and academic outcomes. Building resilience has been described as an ability to maintain mental well-being. Aims This study aims to (1) assess the feasibility of the Resilience Skills Enhancement (RISE) program, (2) evaluate the effects of RISE on undergraduate students' resilience, coping, emotion regulation, positive emotions and stress and (3) explore students' perception of RISE. Methods This study will be operationalized in three phases. Phase 1 - Feasibility A single-arm pre-post study will be used. 10 students will be recruited to explore their acceptability, perception, and suggestions for improving RISE. RISE comprises of six weekly sessions delivered via LumiNUS and Zoom. The Wilcoxon signed rank test will be used to analyse the data. Phase 2 - Randomized controlled trial A prospective, double blind randomized controlled trial and repeated post-tests will be used. A total of 122 students will be recruited from LumiNUS and social media platforms. Participants will receive a series of six, weekly online sessions in both groups. The primary outcome is resilience. The secondary outcomes include, coping, emotion relation, positive emotions, stress. Multivariate analysis of variance with repeated measures will be used to compare the mean difference of scores in the three time points through Wilks's lambda test. The data will be analysed according to the intention-to-treat principle. Phase 3 - Process evaluation A qualitative study using an individual, semi-structured interviews will be used to explore students' perception of RISE. Approximately 20 students will be recruited, and the final sample size will be determined based on data saturation. Thematic analyses will be used to analyse the data. Potential contributions This study will contribute by evaluating evidence-based user-friendly RISE that may be effective for enhancing university students' resilience.

Primary | Resilience | Resilience will be measured using the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC, Connor & Davidson 2003). Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not true at all) to 4 (true nearly all the time), with higher scores indicating higher resilience. The CD-RISC has good psychometric properties (Windle et al., 2011) and validated among Singapore students (Chue & Cheung, 2021). | Baseline | |

Secondary | Social support | Social support will be measured using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS, Zimet et al., 1988). Items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (very strongly disagree) to 7 (very strongly agree), with higher scores indicating better social support. The MSPSS has good psychometric properties and used among students (Dambi et al., 2018). | Baseline | |

Secondary | Learning | Students' learning will be measured during the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ, Pintrich et al., 1991). The following subscales from MSLQ will be used: (1) Control of learning beliefs, (2) self-efficacy, (3) test anxiety, (4) meta-cognitive self-regulation, (5) time and study environment and (6) effort regulation. Items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Not true at all of me) to 7 (very true of me), with higher scores indicating better learning strategies. | Baseline | |
