Background and Aim: Understanding the relationship of some personality traits such as resilience with academic and career success could be helpful. Therefore, this research aims to investigate such a relationship in dentistry students, one of the most stressful professions of medical sciences.Materials and Methods: A total of 185 dental students from Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences participated in this cross-sectional non-experimental correlation study through convenience sampling. The Conner-Davidson questionnaire was filled out to assess the resilience of students and the
average score of the final test of basic science was considered as the criterion for measuring the academic success. Data analysis was carried out through logistic regression and chi-square test. All stages of this research were conducted ethically. The subject of study was explained to students, and they were included
in the study after accepting and obtaining oral satisfaction.
Results: The relationship between resilience score with basic science score as a criterion for academic success showed a positive and direct correlation. The median of the resilience score was 62.27. The minimum and maximum resilience scores were 21 and 91, respectively. About 82.7% got a basic science score of > 120 (successful) and 12% got a basic science score of < 120 (not successful).
Conclusion: The results of this study can be very useful for educational planners, especially in Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. The current curriculum of dentistry primarily focuses on profession competencies as a decisive factor in academic success, while some personality traits are directly related to academic success. Therefore, there is no doubt about the necessity of changing and refining educational programs towards the development of personality dimensions affecting the nature and professional conduct.
