ABSTRACT
Introduction: At the start of training occur several life risks that favor or affect resilience which is the ability to cope with adversity during the development of life.Objective: To determine the relation among resilience and life risks factors at the start of professional training.
Methods: Descriptive, correlational, study in a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 308 freshmen from Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes Health Sciences Center. Resilience instruments, AUDIT, Fagerström and STIs with alpha 0.88, 0.95, 0.90 and 0.86 were applied.
Results: Health Sciences Center freshmen students show a favorable level of resilience, high risk of STIs, responsible alcohol consumption and low tobacco dependence. According to Chi Square test of Pearson there is no relation between resilience variables and alcohol, tobacco and STIs with p value of 0.391, 0.951 and 0.787 with significance of 0.05.
Conclusions: According to the results of this research, being or not being a resilient person is unrelated to dependence on harmful substances or hazards to life that affect professional training.
