Abstract

Objective To investigate renal dialysis patients＇ resilience and influencing factors for clinical teaching. Methods Connor-Davidson resilience scale （CD-RISC）,simplified coping style questionnaire （SCSQ）, perceived social support scale （PSSS） and positive and negative affect scale （PANAS） were used for a survey of 160 renal dialysis patients in Xinan Hospital and Xinqiao Hospital （156 valid questionnaires） and the questionnaire information was put into the computer by the two- input mode and was made the questionnaire data analysis, single factor analysis and variance and re- gression analysis of by SPSS 18.0. Results Renal dialysis patients＇ resilience has no significant differ- ence in gender, frequency of kidney dialysis and kidney dialysis time（P〉0.05）, but resilience and positive coping scores of the age group between 31 to 40 were significantly higher than those of the group between 41-50 group（P=0.000）. Taking the education background into consideration, resilience and positive coping scores of junior high school or above education were significantly higher than those of primary school education（P=0.000,P=0.000）. Positive emotion, positive coping, and social support were positively correlated with resilience and negative emotions were negatively correlated with resilience in linear regression analysis. Conclusion Kidney dialysis patients who are over the age of 40 and less educated may have lower resilience, and less positive coping, more prone to nega-tive emotions, which is not conducive to the rehabilitation and treatment of disease. For kidney dialysis patients, improving their positive response, perceived social support and positive mood, and reducing their negative emotions are beneficial to the improvement of their resilience.
