Background and Aim: Soldiers often face feelings of hopelessness and stress due to physical and psychological pressures, separation from family, and the inherent dangers of military activities. Resilience is a crucial skill that can help mitigate these challenges. This study aims to investigate the relationship between hope and resilience among soldiers.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 1402 among training soldiers from one of the country’s military training units, comprising a total population of 650 individuals. The sample size was calculated to be 300 participants, who were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using three questionnaires: a demographic questionnaire, Miller's Hope Scale, and Connor's Resilience Scale. Following data collection, the information was analyzed using SPSS24 software, employing descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, independent t-tests, and Pearson correlation coefficients.
Results: The mean and standard deviation for hope and resilience were 138.51±7.24 and 56.09±5.66, respectively. The results indicated a statistically significant relationship between the mean score of resilience and the level of education among married individuals (P<0.05). Additionally, the Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a statistically significant correlation between hope and resilience among soldiers (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study underscore the importance of fostering hope as a vital factor in enhancing soldiers' resilience. These results can inform researchers and military officials in developing effective educational and support programs aimed at increasing hope and resilience within military forces.
