Impact of resilience enhancement on communication apprehension among health communication sciences students during the COVID-19 pandemic: an experimental study

Resilience-enhancement interventions may be effective in reducing CA among students in the department of HCS, particularly in interactive contexts. Given the critical role of communication skills in healthcare professions, integrating resilience-building programs into undergraduate education could support both psychological well-being and professional development. Further research is recommended to specifically target public speaking anxiety and to validate these findings across diverse student populations.
