“…For instance, when a person encounters adversities, personal growth-realization of one's potential-might paradoxically enlarge awareness of one's limitations. [44] Contrary to multiple studies that have posited social resources as important determinant of resilience among older adults, [3,21,24] the current findings revealed a weak association between having a positive relationship with others and resilience. In addition, this effect disappeared when this dimension was considered simultaneously with the other dimensions of wellbeing.…”

“…[16] Some studies conceptualized resilience as a personality trait that mitigates the adverse effect of stress, promotes adaptation, and contributes to independent functioning and wellbeing. [17,18] Others conceive of resilience as an adaptive process comprising a constellation of psychosocial factors, [19][20][21] that facilitate older adults in negotiating and managing stress, thereby reducing further function disabilities. [22] Review of the aging literature indicates that resilience is associated with being physically active, [4,23] better physical health and fewer chronic illnesses, [9,10] strong social support, [21,24] adaptive coping, [12,20] and lower depression.…”

Background: Aging represents a time of significant challenges as well as opportunities for growth. Resilience helps older adults adjust to ongoing demands of aging. Little is known, however, about individual factors that bolster resilience. This study examines the potential contribution of psychological wellbeing in building resilience in older adults.Methods: A sample of 150 community-dwelling older adults was recruited from elder clubs in Alexandria, Egypt. Participant interviews included measures of resilience, psychological wellbeing, as well as measures of physical and psycho-social functioning.Results: Psychological wellbeing and resilience were positively and strongly correlated (r = .70, p < .001). Resilience was significantly associated with five dimensions of psychological wellbeing: mastery of environment (r = .54, p < .001), self-acceptance (r = .53, p < .001), personal growth, and purpose in life (both r = .49, p < .001), and autonomy (r = .36, p < .001). A weak, but significant association was found with the sixth dimension, positive relationship with others (r = .29, p < .001). Adjusting for potential confounding variables, psychological wellbeing remained significantly associated with resilience (β = .59, p < .001). Mastery of environment (β = .23, p < .01), autonomy (β = .20, p < .01), personal growth (β = .19, p < .01), and purpose in life (β = .18, p < .01), were independently influenced resilience among older adults.Conclusions: The findings highlight the adaptive function of psychological wellbeing in boosting resilience among older adults. Nursing strategies to optimize resilience and psychological wellbeing among older adults are delineated.

“…Selfefficacy is a factor correlated with resilience when the patients experience unpleasant changes or a chronic disease, so that they will be able to live their normal lives. 30 This is in accordance with a study of the factors contributing to resilience among elderly people when facing critical situations 31 , which revealed that self-efficacy is a factor that promotes resilience and helps patients to get over critical situations. Furthermore, another study on the factors related to resilience among 289 elderly cancer patients 32 also revealed that self-efficacy is correlated with resilience, because it increases resilience.…”

E nd stage renal disease (ESRD) is one of the diseases most commonly found among elderly people. At present, there is a growing tendency for the disease to occur more frequently worldwide, including in Thailand. According to an occurrence report in Thailand, it was found that the number of ESRD patients had increased from 410.90 people in 2007 to 522.80 people in the year 2009. Later, the number increased from 10,181 people in 2012 to 12,800 people in the year 2013. Furthermore, it was predicted that the number of elderly patients with ESRD would increase up to 34, 594 in the year 2017. 1 This is a significant problem which is likely to become even more serious in the near future. ESRD is the condition in which the nephron is gradually destroyed until it loses function. The deterioration in the functioning of the kidneys, namely filtration, tubular reabsorption, waste reduction, excretory system, and hormone production, leads to the end stage or the so-called ESRD. When chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses to ESRD, the filtration rate will become lower than 15 ml/min/1.73 m 2 of the body surface area for more than a period of three months. 2 This can weaken the excretory system, water balance, pH balance, and the production of crucial hormones. As the kidney function decreases, this contributes to significant signs or symptoms e.g. hypertension and heart failure in the cardiovascular system; asthma, dyspnea due to fluid overload, pulmonary edema, and pneumonia in the respiratory system; and nausea and vomiting and anorexia in the digestive system. In addition, it will also affect the nervous system due to the accumulation of uremia and the imbalance of water and electrolytes. 3 When kidneys do not function Abstract OBJECTIVE: This research aimed to study the resilience of elderly patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and its related factors towards hope, self-efficacy, optimism, and family relationships RESEARCH TOOLS AND METHOD: This present study is a piece of descriptive correlation research. The samples included ninety-seven elderly patients who were diagnosed with ESRD and treated at the Outpatient Department, Chronic Kidney Disease and Artificial Kidney 1 Clinic, Sakaeo Crown Prince Hospital. The data were collected using interviews, and they were then analyzed with descriptive statistics and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. RESULTS: The findings revealed that the studied samples had moderate resilience (71.1%). A significant positive correlation was found between resilience and hope (r = 0.536, p < 0.001) family relationships (r = 0.449, p < 0.001) and self-efficacy (r = 0.349, p < 0.001). While, optimism (r = 0.289, p = 0.004) was found as a low positive correlation to resilience among the elderly people with ESRD CONCLUSION: Among the elderly patients with ESRD in this study, a significant positive correlation was found between resilience and hope, self-efficacy, optimism, and family relationships. Therefore, nurses or healthcare professionals who are taking care of elderly patients with ESRD...

“…The same factors measured in this study are considered to be factors or qualities within individuals that are associated with resilience. These include such things as positive interpersonal relationships, building social connectedness with a willingness to work with others, strong internal resources, having an optimistic or positive perspective about life and challenges encountered throughout the lifespan, maintaining realistic expectations, setting achievable goals and working toward those goals consistently, high self‐esteem or self‐concept, high self‐efficacy, and determination . Thus, the findings from this study support the need to continue to focus on developing interventions to strengthen resilience.…”
