Objectives: This study aimed to identify the learned helplessness felt during COVID-19 as a basis for understanding the correlation with actual college life adjustment. Furthermore, the study aimed to develop strategies to enhance student adjustment to college life.Methods: A total of 284 college students in the nursing and emergency medical service department were given a questionnaire on learned helplessness and college life adjustment. The data were analyzed through the SPSS 23.0 program.Results: The college life adjustment score were significantly higher in the nursing department, the senior, high grades, and high major satisfaction. The learned helplessness and college life adjustment of health college students were negatively correlated. The effects of learned helplessness on the participant’s college life adjustment were lacking in confidence, lack of control, passivity, and lack of responsibility. The explanatory power of the model was 60.3%.Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop and apply various programs for health college students to reduce learned helplessness and increase college life adjustment.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the effects of self-esteem and stress coping styles on resilience in nursing students according to the Myers– Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).Methods: A descriptive study was conducted. Data were collected from 205 nursing senior students and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.Results: In terms of self-esteem, social support-seeking stress coping style, and resilience, extroversion was significantly higher than introversion in MBTI preference. Among all factors, selfesteem had the greatest effect on resilience (r = 0.53), followed by the emotion-focused coping style (r = -0.31) and the problem-focused coping style (r = 0.23), with an explanation power of 57.1%.Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that self-esteem is an essential factor affecting resilience. Thus, nursing intervention programs for improvement of resilience in nursing students should be considered by the degree of self-esteem based on the MBTI personality preference.
