Sumario:Nurses play a crucial role in promoting school health by supporting students’ resilience in the context of bullying. This cross-sectional study examined the influence of school climate and moral disengagement on resilience among 167 Thai secondary students using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. Participants included 38.3% victims, 28.7% perpetrators, and 32.9% bully-victims. Most students reported medium to high levels of resilience and positive perceptions of school climate. Boys were more likely to report moral disengagement (<italic>p</italic> < .001). Structural modeling indicated that school climate was positively associated with resilience (β = 0.471, <italic>p</italic> < .001). Moral disengagement was not significantly associated with resilience, and mediation through moral disengagement was not supported. The model accounted for 27% of the variance in resilience. These findings suggest that positive school climate is closely linked to students’ resilience and underscore the relevance of school-based nursing practices that emphasize inclusive, relational, and system-level approaches.
