Abstract

Objective To investigate the status quo of resilience among patients with hematological malignancies, and to explore its influencing factors. Methods The Connor-Davidson resilience scale, the social support rating scale, and self-designed demographic questionnaire were delivered to 193 inpatients with hematological malignancies. Results The overall resilience score for patients with hematological malignancies was(58.42±8.93), and the social support score was(36.77±5.36). The results showed that there was statistically significant differences in the resilience level of the hematological malignancy patients with different gender, marital status, educational level, family income, and medical insurance(P<0.05); educational level, family income, social support entered the multiple regression equation and explained 42.7% of all the variation. Conclusions The patients with hematological malignancy have poor resilience. Educational level, family income and social support are important influencing factors.
