“…Informal support allowed our participants and their fellow residents, even those in poor health, to maintain social participation they perceived as meaningful. Social participation provides meaning in life and can enable older adults to cope with age-related changes (Palmes et al, 2021).…”

“…Level three is socially oriented and includes, for example, talking with friends or neighbours without doing a specific activity together; level four is task oriented and includes participating in activities together with others, such as hobby clubs or group activities organised in the community; level five includes helping others and volunteering; and level six includes society-oriented activities, such as being involved in political parties or organisations that allow individuals to contribute more broadly to society (Levasseur et al, 2010). Social participation in old age contributes to enhanced quality of life (Liu et al, 2020;Palmes et al, 2021;Roberts & Adams, 2018). Nevertheless, older adults are more likely to take part in social interaction that they perceive as meaningful (Mohler & Miller, 2020;Roberts & Adams, 2018); involvement in worthwhile social participation thus makes life more meaningful (Steptoe & Fancourt, 2019).…”

As populations across the world age, there is a recognised need for promoting social participation in older adults. Previous studies related to social participation have addressed that interactions perceived as meaningful may improve quality of life in old age. However, what is less clear is the nature of such participation from the perspective of older adults, as the vast majority of studies have been quantitative. The present study aimed to explore what characterises social participation that contributes to a meaningful everyday life, from the viewpoint of independently living Finnish older adults. Thematic analysis was used as an interpretative method drawing on semi-structured in-depth interviews with six residents aged 82 to 97 years from one senior housing facility. The analysis showed that social participation perceived as meaningful involved caring reciprocal interactions with people they connected with; having the freedom to make autonomous decisions and influence matters that affected their own or others’ everyday life; and, on a more abstract level, feeling significant as a person. It furthermore fostered independence and companionship as well as reduced loneliness. To describe social participation that is perceived as meaningful from a theoretical perspective, we used Levasseur and colleagues’ (2010) taxonomy and found that such involvement creates a sense of connectedness, a sense of belonging and relates to the concepts of social integration, social networking and social engagement. This type of involvement is associated with enhanced quality of life and a more meaningful life, highlighting the importance of creating environments where older adults can socially connect.

“…To support this scale development, local studies being published were also reviewed. Seemingly, the most identified factors influencing academic resilience among learners are school culture and environment (Lanuza et al, 2020;Edara et al, 2021) and family and community (Rico, 2019;Beri & Dorji, 2021;Palmes et al, 2021). Lanuza et al, (2020) stated that religiosity is mediated by the effects of resilience, optimism, and well-being.…”

“…In the same manner, Beri and Dorji (2021) assessed that resilient plays a meaningful part in coping with stress and has a significant influence on academic success and behaved both as a mediator and moderator in the association between stressors and psychological wellbeing; hence, a positive attitude and emotion of a learner can improve learning efficacy. Correspondingly, Palmes et al, (2021) proved the role of resilience in enhancing the quality of life (QOL) using structural equation modeling. Results show that coping strategies only are not sufficient to improve QOL.…”

Academic resilience can lead to better behavior and results for disadvantaged learners since they can achieve good educational outcomes despite diversity. Several studies mentioned that various protective factors could affect resilience among students. On the other hand, several risk factors also directly affect its development among learners. This research provides a scholarly source for developing a scale that determines the level of academic resiliency of selected secondary school students and describes its psychometric features. The preliminary items for the scale were drafted based on the literature review and personal interviews using open-ended questions with secondary school students in Bulacan. The interview questions were based on the risk and protective factors for academic resilience suggested by Kutlu and Yavuz (2016). The scale used a four-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater academic resilience. After validating the preliminary scale, the researcher analyzed the validity and reliability of the new scale items among 591 students. Using exploratory factor analyses, two primary factors were extracted – internal and external protective factors - with 37 items for FLARS. Several well-recognized criteria for the factorability of a correlation were used. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was .915, above the commonly recommended value of .6, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (X2(666)=7351.246, p < .05). Also, the overall Cronbach’s alpha was .901, which showed very high reliability. Therefore, the FLARS instrument is reliable and valid. It can measure the level of academic resilience of secondary school students. However, it might be readministered to a bigger sample for greater reliability, validity, and generalizability of results.

Socioeconomic status and education of an individual are said to be highly-related to future quality of life. Within the Philippines, the 2018 statistics have reported that the number of families living below the poverty line is around 11.90%. Although this figure is already a large improvement from the 2015 census of 18.40%. However, due to COVID-19, the situation today might be altogether different. A total of 392 volunteer senior citizen participated in the study, wherein demographics such as: age, gender, marital status, average monthly income, educational attainment, and health status are collected. In addition, senior citizens' resilience, coping strategies, and quality of life are also collected. Data analysis involved Chi-square test for independence, correlational analysis, and linear regression.Findings showed that resilience, coping strategies, social participation, and quality of life are not related to gender and marital status, while average monthly income and educational attainment are related to resilience and cognitive coping strategies. Regression results showed that resilience and social participation both successfully predicted the quality of life for the current group of senior citizens.
