Abstract: (671 Views) |
Background: Covid-19 is a disease with different characteristics, ranging from symptomless carriers to death due to complications, which can induce a significant amount of stress. Resilience is very important for coping with stress and maintaining balance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between resilience and clinical symptoms in patients with Covid-19.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive analytical study was conducted in 2022, with the participation of 100 patients hospitalized at Shahid Beheshti, Yahya Nejad, and Rouhani hospitals in Babol city, as well as Kausar hospital in Semnan city, who had received positive PCR test results and a definite diagnosis of Covid-19. They were selected using a convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included demographic information, a symptom checklist, clinical information, the Mini Mental Status Questionnaire (MMSE), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC)-10.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 53±15.3 years, and 91% of them were married. Seventy-eight percent of the patients had a headache, 83% had a cough, and 88% had dyspnea. There was no significant difference in resilience scores between patients with symptoms and those without symptoms (P>0.05). The multiple regression model revealed no significant relationship between disease symptom severity and resilience levels, even when considering the confounding variables (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The absence of a relationship between Covid-19 symptoms and resilience may be attributed to the complex nature of the disease and the multidimensional aspect of resilience. We suggest conducting more comprehensive research on various facets of resilience and its mechanisms of impact on diseases in diverse contexts, with larger sample sizes.
