“…We found that a higher level of perceived social support predicts higher resilience. This result is not surprising; previous studies confirm the buffering effect of social support [34,35]. Qualitative studies have indicated that social support, especially for patients with taboo diseases, such as vulvar neoplasia, is important to successfully cope with the situation.…”

Background: Women with vulvar neoplasia often complain about physical and psychological distress after surgical treatment. Lack of information and support can influence resilience. Whether an information-related intervention through an advanced practice nurse supports resilience and which other factors affect resilience in women with vulvar neoplasia has never been investigated. Methods: The aims of this study were (a) to analyse whether counselling based on the WOMAN-PRO II program causes a significant improvement in the resilience scores of women with vulvar neoplasia compared to written information and (b) to identify the potential predictors of resilience. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in women with vulvar neoplasia (n = 49) six months after surgical treatment in four Swiss hospitals and one Austrian hospital. Analyses of resilience and its predictors were performed using a linear mixed model. Results: Thirty-six women (intervention I, n = 8; intervention II, n = 28) completed the randomized controlled trial. In total, 13 women (26.5%) dropped out of the trial. The resilience score did not differ significantly between the two interventions three and six months after randomisation (p = 0.759). Age (b = .04, p = 0.001), social support (b = .28, p = 0.009), counselling time (b = .03, p = 0.018) and local recurrence (b = −.56, p = 0.009) were identified as significant predictors of resilience in the linear mixed model analyses. Conclusion: The results indicate that the WOMAN-PRO II program as single intervention does not cause a significant change in the resilience scores of women with vulvar neoplasia six months after surgery. Predictors that promote or minimise resilience have been identified and should be considered when developing resilience programs for women with vulvar neoplasia. A repetition of the study with a larger sample size is recommended.

“…La resiliencia correlaciona de forma positiva con el optimismo, la esperanza y el apoyo social percibido, y negativamente con la ansiedad y con el estrés percibido, en una población de pacientes con cáncer oral (Gao et al 2019 [43], Seiler and Jenewein (2019) [44]) mediante una indagación bibliográfica, restringida a Pub-Med, establecen que los factores biológicos, personales y en especial sociales aportan a la capacidad para recuperarse, en pacientes con cáncer. Además, encuentran que el PTG (crecimiento postraumático, es decir cambios positivos en la vida como producto de crisis vitales o eventos estresantes), es un factor relevante para adaptarse a esta condición, y construyen un modelo de resiliencia y PTG en pacientes con cáncer y sobrevivientes.…”

Artículo de revisión que enfatiza la relevancia de articular la resiliencia en el quehacer en salud, bien sea enfocado en personas, grupos sociales o en instituciones, como énfasis para potenciar la salud, el bienestar y la calidad de vida. Para el logro de este propósito se requiere un trabajo integral e interdisciplinario que propenda por identificar y potenciar los recursos y fortalezas, la autonomía y autorresponsabilidad, a diferencia del énfasis tradicional en salud, centrado en la disfuncionalidad y en la patología. Se trata de una mirada positiva y optimista del desarrollo humano, en el que intervienen aspectos emocionales, cognitivos, interaccionales y sociales. Perspectiva que cuenta con el apoyo de la OMS y la OPS. La resiliencia fortalece una posición activa y protagónica de todos los agentes para la resolución de las situaciones que inciden en el bienestar y desarrollo de los individuos y colectividades. No es una cualidad estática sino dinámica, tampoco es innata puesto que puede incentivarse y fortalecerse, con el propósito de aportar a un afrontamiento de la existencia desde una visión activa, optimista y entusiasta, que genere empoderamiento y capacidad de agencia. Como conclusión se establece su complejidad y condición multifactorial, que implica condiciones a nivel personal, familiar y social. El concepto de resiliencia lleva a asumir una mirada compleja, ecosistémica, integral y contextual del fenómeno de lo humano, al igual que destaca el papel activo y protagónico de la persona en su proceso de desarrollo.

“…In this sense, depression and anxiety are mostly seen in cancer patients during their treatment [2]. Many cancer patients experience long-lasting negative psychological effects and perceive it as a traumatic illness due to its sudden onset and unclear nature after receiving diagnosis [3]. These emotional disorders can play a role in their lower quality of life and treatment compliance [4].…”

“…Since the treatment process (combinations of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery) is complex and problematic, patients' physical health, mental well-being, and relationships with loved ones may be adversely affected [1]. In contrast, as shown in studies, cancer and its treatment may be a chance for personal growth, positive life alterations, upgraded emotional and social well-being as a result of resilience [3].…”

“…Additionally, reduced emotional distress and more adaptive and flexible behaviors can be seen in subjects with high resilience even when they were exposed to traumatic and negative life events [9]. However, resilience is a dynamic mechanism that can be affected by life changes in life; environmental and individual contextual factors, such as social support, coping, optimism, hope; and attachment styles [3,9].…”

Introduction To investigate the level of psychological resilience and the impact of attachment styles on the degree of resilience to distress in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. Methods Patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy were included in the study. Participants were requested to complete the Relationship Scales Questionnaire (RSQ), Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), and a personal information form during the data collection phase. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare that parameter among the attachment styles. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify independent factors affecting resilience. Results A total of 384 individuals were included in this study (mean age 53.5 ± 12.1, 27.1 % male). The RSQ results showed that the attachment styles of 190 (49.5%) participants were secure, whereas 194 (50.5%) subjects had an insecure attachment. The median RSA score of participants with a secure attachment was significantly higher than that of patients with insecure attachment (133.15 ± 16.6 vs. 127.0 ± 20.0, p=0.001). Patients with the RSA score of >130 were more educated, were in better economic condition, had better perceived social support, and had a higher frequency of secure attachment than those defined as low resilient. Logistic regression analysis revealed that poor and medium perceived social support and insecure attachment style independently predicted low resilience (RSA≤130). Conclusion This study demonstrates that the secure attachment style in patients with cancer improves stress resilience as compared to the insecure attachment style. Our findings also show that insufficient perceived social support is likely a negative factor in resilience.
