      <dc:description>University students face multiple demands, making resilience essential&#xd;
for adapting, recovering, and thriving amid academic and personal&#xd;
challenges. This PRISMA-guided systematic review synthesizes evidence&#xd;
from 33 cross-sectional studies (2019–2024) including 49,868&#xd;
participants (mean age ≈22) without major mental health conditions.&#xd;
Searches covered PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Resilience&#xd;
was assessed with validated instruments, primarily the Connor-Davidson&#xd;
Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and&#xd;
commonly examined alongside stress, depression, and anxiety. Findings&#xd;
were consistent: higher resilience was strongly associated with lower&#xd;
stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, and with better well-being, sleep&#xd;
quality, and academic engagement. Resilience also emerged as a protective&#xd;
factor against burnout, loneliness, and problematic mobile phone use.&#xd;
Collectively, the evidence highlights resilience as a central determinant of&#xd;
mental health and life satisfaction in university populations. Implications&#xd;
for higher education include implementing targeted, evidence-based&#xd;
programs to build resilience, such as psychoeducational skills training,&#xd;
social support initiatives, and promotion of healthy lifestyle habits&#xd;
(physical activity, sleep hygiene). Strengthening resilience may enhance&#xd;
academic performance, personal functioning, and overall well-being,&#xd;
offering a practical foundation for policies and practices that support&#xd;
student success.</dc:description>
