“…NIPRPC included elements like self-affirmation, coping, utilization of professionals other than nurses, family, personality, interchange and information exchange among cancer patients, etc. According to the first factor, previous study investigated construction of cancer patients’ resilience and stated that positive change is promoted by being conscious of self-acceptance when you improve positive sense [ 38 ]. Besides personality, sense of values and positive recognition for external environment including people are considered as factor to maintain resilience of breast cancer patients who experienced treatment [ 29 ].…”

Coping is considered as an attribute of resilience [ 38 , 39 ]. It is reported that you can live life that it seems to be oneself as a factor to promote resilience of breast cancer patients [ 40 ].…”

Resilience is considered an effective concept for cancer patients, but nursing interventions for improving resilience have not been studied adequately yet. We aimed to explore the components and related factors of nursing interventions for promoting resilience among cancer patients receiving chemotherapy (NIPRPC). This cross-sectional study included 68 facilities from 396 cancer hospitals in Japan. Participants were 377 nurses who worked at the outpatient chemotherapy center or cancer ward. They completed self-administered questionnaires including the NIPRPC items and Resilience Scale for Nurses, etc. We conducted factor, correlational, and regression analysis. Based on the exploratory factor analysis, six-dimensional factor components: “Support for patients during the present situation and increasing their self-affirmation,” “Support for self-help,” “Support for utilizing the cancer medical team,” “Support for obtaining family cooperation,” “Support for maintaining regular lifestyle during chemotherapy,” and “Support for interacting with cancer patients and utilizing necessary information.” The strong related factors for all six factors were the resilience of the nurses and the number of collaborations with multiple occupations. Our findings will help nurses improve the psychosocial quality of life of cancer patients and address their needs related to cancer chemotherapy treatment.

“…Developing the Breast Cancer Survivors Resilience Scale 1. Extracting constructs and formulating question items 1 ) A previous study 23 analyzed the conceptual components of resilience in individuals with cancer experiences using Rodgers' s conceptual methodology. 24 This previous work extracted three antecedent factors: "cancer-related stressor," "inner strength," and "person' s surrounding environment" ; two types of affiliation: "positive change" and "coping strategy" ; and four outcomes: "positive response," "well-being acquisition," "improved QOL," and "improved empowerment."…”

This study aimed to develop a breast cancer survivor resilience scale (BCRS) and verify its reliability and validity. We constructed subscales based on the results of a conceptual analysis of resilience and analysis of factors that promote resilience. We verified the internal validity of the subscales by enlisting the opinion of nursing experts and conducting a preliminary survey. This process yielded a draft scale consisting of 64 items. We then conducted the main study on 230 respondents and a re-test on 37 respondents. The results yielded a scale with two factor classes-"individual protective" factors and "social protective" factors-and 16 items. Cronbach' s alpha was 0.93 and the re-test correlation coefficient was 0.89, indicating that the scale has internal consistency and stability. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated statistically significant results for construct validity, criterion-related validity, and discriminant validity, thus confirming that these types of validity were sufficiently present in the scale. The BCRS has sound reliability and validity, and that with clinical application, it can become an effective scale for measuring resilience in breast cancer survivors.
