“…At the same time, illness transformations should also be studied in tandem with concepts such as resilience (Rosenberg, Yi-Frazier, Wharton, Gordon, & Jones, 2014) to determine whether resilience and illness transformations are sequential steps (i.e., if resilience emerges before transformations or vice versa). For example, Haase and colleagues’ resilience in illness model sheds light on the factors that can help adolescents and young adults with cancer achieve positive adjustment to chronic illness (Haase, Kintner, Monahan, & Robb, 2014; Haase et al, 2017). Resilience outcomes include managing illness-related stressors, feeling a sense of accomplishment related to managing the illness, and, consistent with this study, experiencing motivation to help and inspire others.…”
