<p>A Study of the Relationship Among Burned Patients’ Resilience and Self-Efficacy and Their Quality of Life</p>

Abstract

Introduction Among the most common causes of death and disabilities worldwide, burn injuries can affect all aspects of the life quality of the burned patients. Despite the apparent impacts of resilience and self-efficacy on the quality of life, few studies have addressed the relationship among these variables in burned patients. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship among burned patients’ resilience and self-efficacy and their quality of life. Methods The present study was a descriptive, cross-sectional research conducted on 305 burned patients hospitalized in the largest burns hospital in the south-east of Iran. In this regard, the subjects were selected based on total population sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of four sections as follows: a demographic survey, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Lev Self-efficacy Scale, and Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief. The collected data were then analyzed using descriptive tests, Pearson correlation, and linear regression at a significance level of P<0.05 in SPSS 22. Results The results show that there were significant positive correlations between the patients’ resilience and self-efficacy (P<0.001, r=0.31), resilience and quality of life (P<0.001, r=0.58), and self-efficacy and quality of life (P<0.001, r=0.63). Conclusion It appears that burned patients’ self-confidence and ability in adjusting with their conditions after injury are correlated with their quality of life. Thus, it is recommended that healthcare policymakers adopt some strategies to improve resilience and self-efficacy in burned patients for enabling them to effectively cope with the stressful conditions that they face as a result of their injuries.

Exploring the Association Between Resilience and Quality of Life Among Glaucoma Patients: Sleep Disturbance as a Mediating Factor

“…Compared to people with lower resilience, those who had higher resilience were able to respond to problems energetically when dealing with various pressures (such as medical expenses and disease symptoms). Accordingly, when glaucoma patients faced various symptoms including visual impairment, eye distension and headache, individuals who had higher levels of resilience were more adaptable ( 39 ), which eventually improved their QoL.…”

“…Resilience is a significant concept of positive psychology. It refers to the dynamic process and positive adaptation to bitter and unpleasant experiences [ 49 ]. Resilience and its components, such as self-confidence, optimism, belief in individual capabilities, and acceptance, act as barriers to stressful situations and increase human strength and tolerance [ 50 ].…”

“…Exposure to stressful situations may make patients inclined to seek strategies for selfempowerment. Resilience at the time of difficulty or when exposed to risk factors helps patients solve their problems and cope better [35].…”
