“…Research is limited in the use of CD-RISC among undergraduate students who experience CSA; but, this scale has been used among related populations, including females who experience IPV (Anderson et al, 2012;Renner et al, 2020;Renner & Hartley, 2018). One group of researchers also derived two items from the scale that focused on social support to assess resilience as a baseline measurement among a large sample of first-year undergraduate students, specifically when examining correlates of sexual assault (Conley et al, 2017).…”

Undergraduate students who experience campus sexual assault (CSA) are faced with a wide array of potentially detrimental mental health and educational outcomes that may significantly impact their sense of wellbeing. Many researchers have focused on documenting these consequences of CSA, but there is a dearth of research on students’ post-assault experiences. Specifically, there is a lack of scholarship exploring students’ lived experiences of navigating their post-assault lives in their campus environment through the lens of resilience. The purpose of this study was to explore the phenomenon of resilience among undergraduate students who have experienced CSA, through a qualitative phenomenological inquiry. This study used critical conceptual understandings of resilience, including socio-ecological and intersectional feminist theoretical perspectives and social work discourses of resilience, to further complicate how the phenomenon is often described in scholarship. The findings revealed four key themes of the phenomenon to include resilience within the context of agency, coping, connection, and hope. Recommendations and implications across social work research, policy, and practice are presented, specifically those identified by the participants as recommendations for change in addressing CSA and supporting student experiences of resilience.

“…The instructions inform respondents to indicate their level of agreement with the statements as they apply within the last month and, if the situation did not occur within the past month, to still answer according to how they might have responded. Research is limited in the use of CD-RISC among CSA populations but has been used among other populations, including women who experience intimate partner violence (Anderson et al, 2012;Renner et al, 2020;Renner & Hartley, 2021). One group of researchers also derived two items from the scale that focused on social support to assess resilience as a baseline measurement among a large sample of first-year undergraduate students, specifically when examining correlates of sexual assault (Conley et al, 2017).…”

Many researchers have focused on documenting the consequences of campus sexual assault (CSA), but there is a dearth of research on students' post-assault lived experiences. Specifically, there is a lack of scholarship exploring how student victim-survivors of CSA may view, understand, resist, or experience resilience as they navigate their post-assault life on campus. The purpose of this conceptual paper is to explore the question, "How is resilience described and defined in the literature of CSA?" To respond to this question, I explore other related but distinct concepts that appear in the literature around resilience, including posttraumatic growth, meaning-making, and recovery. Although the focus is on CSA literature, I also include scholarship broadly related to trauma, as well as related populations and topics, given the limited research specific to resilience and CSA. Finally, I briefly introduce two theoretical perspective that have informed and guided the conceptualization of this paper, including socio-ecological and intersectional feminist theoretical perspectives. This conceptual paper and discussion of resilience was a result of preparation for my doctoral dissertation study in social work that aimed to explore the phenomenon of resilience among undergraduate students who had experienced CSA, through a qualitative inquiry that used post-intentional phenomenological methods.
