As a result of evaluation of research data; it was found that the difference between the mean age of the students, the mother's educational status, self-efficacy in school life and their parents' attitudes towards themselves and their resilience scores were statistically significant (p<0.05). In addition, it was determined that the difference between the average age of the students, the mother's education level and the income level of the families and the average of the problem-solving ability scores were statistically significant(p<0.05). It was determined that as the average score of problem solving skills decreased, the average score of psychological resilience increased. There was a significant relationship between problem solving and psychological resilience (p=0.000). It was seen that the students had moderate psychological resilience, and that the economic status, mother education, school life, family attitudes, and problem solving skills affected psychological resilience.
