Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficients and path analysis. The findings showed that the direct path of psychological distress to psychological resilience and psychological well-being had a significant effect (P<0.05). Also, the direct path of social isolation to psychological resilience was significant (P<0.05). Psychological distress had a significant indirect effect on psychological well-being through the mediation of psychological resilience (P<0.05). Social isolation with the mediation of psychological resilience had a significant indirect effect on psychological well-being (P<0.05), which indicated a favorable fit.
