“…This finding confirms a long tradition of cancer health studies emphasizing the fundamental role of resilience as a protective factor against the risk of developing adverse health outcomes [ 14 – 16 ]. Notably, our findings are consistent with those recently reported by Groarke et al [ 41 ], who found that resilience moderates the relationship between stress and distress, and that the effects of masculine identity threat on adjustment diminish in the face of resilience [ 42 ]. However, in the current study, we only examined the individual characteristics of the construct, whereas there are several factors that contribute to the cancer patient’s resilience and thus mental health, including biological and social (e.g., social support) factors [ 43 ].…”

Purpose The current cross-sectional study had three objectives: (1) to assess the prevalence of depression and demoralization in a sample of prostate cancer (PCa) patients; (2) to examine whether masculine self-esteem and depression were associated with demoralization; and (3) to evaluate the role of resilience as a factor buffering the effects of masculine self-esteem and depression on demoralization. Methods 197 PCa patients aged 48 to 79 years (M = 67.19; SD = 6.83) answered questions about masculine self-esteem, depression, resilience, and demoralization. An ANOVA was conducted to examine whether the association between demoralization and depressive symptoms was linear. A chi-square test was calculated to determine differences between depression and demoralization. Finally, a hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis with interaction terms was conducted to examine the associations between masculine self-esteem, depression, resilience, and demoralization. Results Depression scores increased linearly with demoralization severity, but demoralization scores were higher than depression scores (21.3% vs. 15.2%). Lower scores on masculine self-esteem and higher scores on depressive symptoms were associated with greater demoralization. Resilience significantly moderated the association between masculine self-esteem and demoralization, but not between depression and demoralization. Conclusion Assessment of depression, masculine self-esteem, resilience, and demoralization in the clinical setting is critical for improving the mental health status of PCa patients.

“…Conversely, Emotional Control and Social Support did not show any influence over mental health perception. These results contradict what other studies have found, which have considered the relevance of high perceived social support and emotional expression (opposite to emotional control) as factors related to positive health outcomes in cancer ( Durá et al, 2010 ; Costa-Requena et al, 2014 ; Li et al, 2015 ; Macía et al, 2020b ). In particular, absence of effect of social support over mental health is remarkable in this study.…”

“…Psychological interventions should emphasize the increase of aspects such as resilience and extraversion in patients, through specific techniques focused in group-based sharing processes, resilience building interventions (increase of like self-esteem, cognitive flexibility, connectedness with significant others), development of therapeutic alliance and confidence, etc. ( Solano et al, 2016 ; Reynolds, 2019 ; Macía et al, 2020b , c ).…”

ObjectiveThe literature has shown the relevance of certain psychological variables in adjustment to cancer. However, there is a great variability, and these features could be modified through the disease process. The aim of this study is to provide an integrated and global perspective of the importance of variables such as coping, resilience, emotional control, social support, affect, and others in cancer patients through a longitudinal study, with the objective of exploring their associations and underlying interactions.MethodsThe sample was composed of 71 people diagnosed with cancer who were attending psychological support at the Spanish Association Against Cancer (Biscay). We assessed the following variables in two periods of 6 months: perceived stress (PSS), emotional control (CECS), resilience (CD-RISC), coping strategies (CERQ), personality (NEOFFI), social support (MOSS), affect (PANAS), emotional distress (GHQ), quality of life (SF-12) and visual-analogic scales (EVA).ResultsResults showed predictive effects of perceived stress on physical health perception (β = −0.22; t = −3.26; p = 0.002). Mental health perception was influenced by almost all the psychological variables. Consciousness at baseline (βCo = 0.15; p = 0.003), change in Extraversion (βEx = 0.16; p = 0.001) and Resilience (βRe = 0.15; p = 0.002) had significant effects on perceived mental health.ConclusionThis study provides a global health model that integrates and explores associations between psychological variables related to cancer disease. This information could be useful for guiding personalized psychotherapeutic interventions, with the aim of increasing adjustment to disease.

“…The results of this study show a significant and positive correlation between evasive coping and resilience, as well as a negative correlation between emotive coping subscale and resilience. These results are in line with other studies who found a significant and negative relationship between the use of emotion-oriented coping and resilience among diabetic adolescents (Macía et al, 2020;Messinger, 2017). The results of other studies indicated that evasive coping is negatively related to resilience, which was not in line with the present study results (Chen et al, 2018;Thompson et al, 2018).…”

Problem Adolescents with beta thalassemia major face various physical and psychosocial challenges. Resilience plays a protective role in coping with the stress resulting from this disease. Methods This descriptive correlational study was carried out on 134 adolescents (age: 11–21 years old) with beta‐thalassemia major who were referred at the Thalassemia Centre in southern Iran from October to December 2018 via convenience sampling method. The Jalowiec Coping scale and Connor‐Davidson resilience scale were the instruments used in this study. Data analysis was done using Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression. Findings Resilience was shown to be correlated with the subscales of confrontive, optimistic, supportant, and evasive coping significantly and positively (p < .001), while in the subscale of emotive coping with resilience, this was not significant. In addition, 38% of variations in the scale of resilience were explained by the five coping subscales. Conclusions The findings of this study, indicated the role of courageous coping in promoting resilience and defensive coping as a factor that leads to less resilience than optimal level. Hence, understanding the importance and the role of protective factors and risk factors can help healthcare providers in planning some effective interventions to increase resilience among adolescents with thalassemia.
