RESILIENCE AMONG PEOPLE WITH DIABETES MELLITUSABSTRACT: This study aimed to characterize the resilience, socio-demographic, and health/disease variables among people with Diabetes Mellitus who were attended in a general hospital in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. This cross-sectional study was developed with 60 subjects from August to November of 2009, using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Resilience scores were high, with no association between age and resilience. People attended through emergency services obtained significantly superior resilience scores to those from outpatient and inpatient units. We conclude that people with diabetes may have high resilience scores, compatible with a healthy population and more developed countries. RESILIENCIA DE LAS PERSONAS CON DIABETES MELLITUSRESUMEN: El estudio tuvo por objetivo investigar la resiliencia y las variables socio-demográficas y de salud/enfermedad de las personas con Diabetes Mellitus que acuden a un hospital general en Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Se trata de un estudio transversal, desarrollado con sesenta personas, en el periodo de agosto a noviembre de 2009, por medio de la Escala de Resiliencia Connor-Davidson. Los valores de resilencia fueron elevados, con una asociación entre resilencia y edad. Las personas atendidas en el servicio de urgencia presentaron valores de resilencia superiores al de las personas del ambulatorio y las unidades de internación. Llegamos a la conclusión que las personas con Diabetes Mellitus pueden tener puntuaciones más altas de resiliencia, compatibles con una población sana y de los países más desarrollados.
