Objectives This study was conducted to examine the levels of lockdown‐induced fatigue and its association with personal resilience, coping skills, and health in college students. Design and Methods This is an online cross‐sectional study involving 243 college students in the Central Philippines during the 6th month of the lockdown measure implementation. Findings College students experience moderate levels of fatigue during the mandatory lockdown period. Increased personal resilience and coping skills were associated with lower levels of lockdown fatigue. Practice Implications Lockdown fatigue may be addressed by formulating and implementing interventions to enhance personal resilience and coping skills among college students.
