“…Scores on the shorter versions of the CD-RISC also were found to be predictive of treatment response. These results are consistent with those described by Camardese et al (2007) who found that patients with MDD who had a greater degree of resilience, also measured with the CD-RISC, were more likely to remit when receiving active drug therapy.…”

“…However, despite these limitations, to the best of our knowledge, this population comprises one of the largest in which the effect of resilience was assessed as a predictor of response in a controlled trial. Future research is warranted to further clarify the relationship between resilience and treatment response in PTSD and other conditions, such as depression, mild traumatic brain injury (Hoge et al, 2008), and suicidal behavior associated with substance abuse (Camardese et al, 2007;Roy et al, 2007). Further study could determine whether treatments that promote resilience as a whole, or just in certain aspects, can provide further benefit, as suggested in the case of depression and generalized anxiety disorder (Fava et al, 1998(Fava et al, , 2005.…”

“…The CD-RISC also has been previously used in predictor analyses in patients with mood, anxiety, and substance abuse disorders. Camardese et al (2007) found that baseline resilience was associated with an increased likelihood of achieving remission in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), whereas Roy et al (2007) found that CD-RISC score predicted suicide attempts in a population of substance abuse patients. In PTSD patients, the baseline rating of CD-RISC item 6 ('Seeing the humorous side of things when under stress') predicted remission in a mixed sample of patients drawn from different studies (Davidson et al, 2005).…”

Resilience as a predictor of treatment response in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder treated with venlafaxine extended release or placebo

et al. 2011

This post-hoc analysis evaluated resilience as a predictor of treatment response in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Data were pooled from two randomized, double-blind studies conducted with adult outpatients treated with flexible doses of venlafaxine extended release (ER) 37.5 to 300 mg/day or placebo. The 17-item Clinician-Administered Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Scale (CAPS-SX(17)) was the primary outcome measure. Baseline Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) scores for the 25-, 10-, and 2-item versions were used to predict changes in PTSD symptom severity at week 12 and symptomatic remission (CAPS-SX(17) ≤ 20). Analyses were conducted for the overall population and separately for the individual treatment groups. In total, pretreatment resilience predicted a positive treatment response. For the overall population, all versions of the CD-RISC predicted CAPS-SX(17) change scores and remission after controlling for variables such as treatment group and baseline symptom severity. For venlafaxine ER-treated patients, all versions of the CD-RISC were predictive of remission, but only the 10-item version was predictive of CAPS-SX(17) change score. Our results suggest that higher pretreatment resilience is generally associated with a positive treatment response. Future research may be warranted to explore the relationship between response to active treatment and the spectrum of resiliency.

“…We do not know whether our results are unique for OCD patients. Previous studies have linked lower resilience scores to the course of treatment outcome in PTSD and depression (Camardese et al ., ; Davidson et al ., ). Our results indicate a link between comorbid anxiety and depression and resiliency.…”

“…Resiliency could be positively related to psychotherapy outcome. Studies have indicated a positive relation between multi‐dimensional resilience scores and treatment outcome for pharmacological treatment of PTSD (Davidson, Stein, Rothbaum, Pedersen, Szumski & Baldwin, ) and depression (Camardese, Adamo, Mosca et al ., ). Hence, it could be hypothesized that resiliency might be a transdiagnostic factor affecting course, severity or treatment outcome in psychiatric illnesses.…”

Dispositional resilience in treatment‐seeking patients with obsessive‐compulsive disorder and its association with treatment outcome

There is a lack of research on the relation between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and resilience. Dispositional resilience, as described and defined in literature on hardiness, consists of three facets, namely beliefs about having control in everyday living, having a sense of purpose or commitment, and a positive attitude toward challenges. This study explores associations between dispositional resilience (measured with the Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS-15-R)), symptom severity, and treatment outcome in a sample of 89 patients treated with concentrated exposure therapy (cET), and compares the findings with scores from two reference groups (students and soldiers). The patient group had significantly lower resilience scores than the two reference groups. Weak correlations were observed between dispositional resilience and OCD symptoms. Differences in dispositional resilience were weakly related to remission status at follow-up (odds ratio of 1.11). Furthermore, resilience improved from pre-to post-treatment (Cohen's d of 0.65). Our results imply that patients' initial resilience score does not hinder nor facilitate treatment effects to a great extent in this format of ERP treatment.

Results are presented for the largest study (N = 53,692) ever conducted on the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), a popular measure of resilience. We examined the internal consistency of the CD-RISC items and associated mean resilience levels within a sample of enlisted basic trainees in the United States Air Force. In addition, the predictive validity of the CD-RISC Total Score was examined for real-life military outcomes, including attrition from service and mental health diagnosis. The CD-RISC items demonstrated strong internal consistency. Item-level examinations of scores revealed that most trainees reported relatively high resilience. Results indicated that resilience measured at the beginning of military service is a significant predictor of (a) attrition from service and (b) obtaining a mental health diagnosis within 6 months of entry. Implications and future directions are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
