Dalam konteks situasi semasa seperti pandemik COVID-19, ketahanan diri menjadi semakin penting dan bertindak sebagai faktor pelindung daripada risiko kegagalan pengembangan bakat. Namun, ketahanan diri tidak wujud dengan sendiri dan perlu kepada sumbangan pelbagai faktor. Sehingga kini, kajian terhadap faktor yang menyumbang kepada ketahanan diri yang kukuh terutama semasa menghadapi pandemik COVID-19 masih menjadi topik utama penyelidikan. Justeru, artikel ini bertujuan untuk meninjau impak sokongan sosial dan kekuatan dalaman terhadap ketahanan diri pelajar berbakat sukan di Malaysia semasa penularan wabak COVID-19. Kajian ini melibatkan pengumpulan data sekunder dan analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa terdapat dua faktor utama yang menyumbang kepada ketahanan diri pelajar berbakat sukan semasa pandemik COVID-19 iaitu faktor sokongan sosial di persekitaran seperti keluarga, rakan-rakan dan jurulatih, serta faktor kekuatan dalaman seperti kemahiran menyelesaikan masalah, kesedaran kendiri dan efikasi kendiri. Kajian ini dirujuk penting dalam memberi gambaran berkenaan isu ketahanan diri yang berlaku dalam situasi semasa seperti pandemik COVID-19 yang boleh menjejaskan pengembangan bakat sukan khususnya di Malaysia.Kata kunci: Ketahanan diri; sokongan sosial; kekuatan dalaman; peranan persekitaran; faktor pelindung; pelajar berbakat sukanAbstract: The resilience of a talented sports student can be linked to the role of environment towards him as well as inner abilities. In the context of current situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, resilience becomes increasingly important and acts as a protective factor against the risk of talent development failure. Nonetheless, resilience does not exist on its own and needs the contribution of various factors. Till date, research on contributing factors of resilience including during the COVID-19 pandemic are still explored. Thus, this paper aims to review the impact of resilience during COVID-19 pandemic in terms of contributing factors. The study involved secondary data collection and content analysis. This study found that there are two main factors that contribute to talented sports student resilience, namely social support (family, friends and coaches), as well as internal strength (problem solving skills, self-awareness and self-efficacy). This study is important in providing an overview of the issue of resilience that occurs in current situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic that can affect the development of sports talent, especially in Malaysia.Keywords: Resilience; social support; internal strength; environment roles; protective factors; sports talented student’sReferences Abu Bakar, A.
