Resumo(s)
Resilience has been widely studied as a psychological construct associated with positive adaptation in the face of adversity and stress, assuming particular relevance in the context of mental health. This article aims to analyze the concept of resilience, its theoretical evolution, and its relationship with the promotion of mental health in educational contexts, with a particular focus on Higher Education. Initially explored in other fields of knowledge, the concept was later incorporated into Psychology to explain adaptive processes in individuals exposed to potentially traumatic experiences, progressively distancing itself from the notion of invulnerability. Throughout the article, resilience is discussed as a dynamic and multidimensional process, influenced by individual, familial, social, institutional, and cultural factors. Empirical evidence demonstrating the relationship between resilience, social support, and mental health is examined, highlighting the role of support networks, self-efficacy, time management, and learning strategies as protective factors in the academic trajectory. The article also addresses the specificities of distance learning, emphasizing the importance of self-regulation, individual responsibility, and institutional support in academic adjustment. The analysis developed in this article demonstrates that promoting resilience in educational environments constitutes a fundamental strategy for fostering psychological well-being and academic success among higher education students.
