BACKGROUND

Corona 2019 happened and changed people’s ways of relating, of taking action, of thinking and of perceiving due to its unpredictable nature. It was reported that these would affect people’s PTSD, somatic complaints, anxiety, fatigue, and feelings of helplessness [1]. Yet, in our national survey on 1359 participants in August 2021, there were 48 people (0.04%) who had thoughts about death. This research data may raise the question that the remaining majority (99.06%) of those who have no thoughts of death, does the pandemic not affect them? Therefore, this mid-method design research aims to explore resilient factors (e.g., personal resources, meaning of life, community support, Creator/nature-Connor-Davidon, 2010) in the face of adversity. The study was divided into two stages. On the quantitative stage, a set of the questionnaires on social demographics, Brief symptom Inventories and resilience [2] were administered to 1359 participants; then the qualitative study with open ended questions were sent and had 53 responses. This report focuses on the descriptive information of resilience to have a better understanding about the participant's situations.
