“…Research on resilience in people suffering a mental health disorder is scarce (Griffiths et al, ; Min et al, ; Torgalsbøen, ). In the current study, we aimed to study the role of resilience factors in health‐related variables (well‐being, quality of life, psychosocial functioning deficit, bipolar symptomatology, and personal recovery) in people diagnosed with BD.…”

The individual process of resilience has been related to positive outcomes in mental disorders. We aimed (a) to identify the resilience domains from the Resilience Questionnaire for Bipolar Disorder that are associated cross sectionally and longitudinally with mental health outcomes in bipolar disorder (BD) and (b) to explore cross-lagged associations among resilience factors. A clinical adult sample of 125 patients diagnosed with BD (62.10% female, mean age = 46.13, SD = 10.89) gave their informed consent and completed a battery of disease-specific tools on resilience, personal recovery, symptomatology, psychosocial functioning, and quality of life, at baseline and at follow-up (n = 63, 58.10% female, mean age = 45.13, SD = 11.06, participation rate = 50.40%). Resilience domains of self-management of BD, turning point, self-care, and self-confidence were significantly associated with mental health indicators at baseline. In addition, self-confidence at baseline directly predicted an increase in personal recovery at follow-up, and self-confidence improvement mediated the relationship between interpersonal support and self-care at baseline and personal recovery at follow-up. These findings highlight that resilience domains are significantly associated with positive mental health outcomes in BD and that some predict personal recovery at follow-up. Moreover, some resilience factors improve other resilience factors over time.

“…12,13, 14 It has also been reported that individuals with schizophrenia who are in remission have significantly higher resilience scores. 15 Resilience has not been addressed in the CHR population and it may be valuable to understand the role of resilience on the mental health outcome of this vulnerable population.…”

Background It has been suggested that resilience may be a protective factor with respect to mental illness. This may be an important factor for those who are vulnerable to psychiatric illness. Thus, the aims of this paper were to compare levels of resilience between individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis and healthy controls, and to examine associations between resilience and clinical measures, functioning, and trauma of CHR participants. Method Eighty participants, 40 CHR and 40 University of Calgary undergraduate students, completed two resilience questionnaires: the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the Child and Youth Resilience Measure. Results A t-test revealed a significant difference between the groups on levels of resilience (t=4.34, p <0.01), demonstrating that CHR participants have lower levels of resilience than healthy controls. In terms of the associations between resilience and measures of mental health of CHR participants, it was found that higher levels of resilience were related to lower negative symptoms, depression, and anxiety. Furthermore, resilient CHR participants showed higher levels of role functioning and generally reported higher positive schemas of self and others, as well as lower stress to reported life events. No associations were found between resilience and attenuated psychotic symptoms, social functioning, IQ, and trauma. Conclusions The results of the current study suggest that resilience may be beneficial to other mental issues present in CHR individuals but this may not be the case for attenuated psychotic symptoms.

“…Excluding criterion was a medical condition that made the participation in the survey impossible. The group of subjects consisted of 15 women (28.3%) and 38 men (71.7%) which reflects the population of heart recipients, which is dominated by men [16]. Heart recipients at the time of the study were form 4 months to 18 years after transplantation (mean 10 years after transplantation), and among the diagnoses leading to heart transplantation were successively as follows: cardiomyopathy, post-inflammatory cardiomyopathy, and heart diseases unresponsive to surgical correction.…”

“…Previous studies conducted on resiliency within health psychology show that this is a resource related to better condition of physical and mental health, and wellbeing of different groups of people, e. g. patients with ischemic heart disease, women with the diagnosis of breast cancer or people with schizophrenia [14][15][16]. Due to the role of resiliency in the process of resilient adaptation to changing living conditions [1,11,17], proven in studies, its relationship with the life after the heart transplantation has been assumed in this research project.…”

SummaryAim. The aim of the research was to find out if resiliency is a potentially significant factor in the process of adaptation after heart transplantation. Material and methods. The research included 53 people after heart transplantation, hospitalized in the John Paul II Hospital in Kraków. Measures included a self-made interview questionnaire; the Acceptance of Illness Scale, the Polish Resiliency Assessment Scale SPP-25. The necessary statistics were conducted by means of SPSS program. Results. Examined group of heart transplant patients appeared to be well adapted to living with a transplanted heart and was characterized by an average level of resiliency. The results supported the hypotheses regarding the relationship between resiliency and adaptation after heart transplantation. Personal skill to cope, to tolerate negative emotions and failures as well as the ability to view life as a challenge seem to play a special role in the process of adapting to life with a new heart. Conclusions. Resiliency is a factor significantly related to adaptation after heart transplantation, and it has implications for clinical practice, especially for the rehabilitation of patients after transplantation. It seems to be important to shape and develop these elements of resiliency which are mostly related to positive adaptation after heart transplantation. resiliency / adaptation / heart transplantation
