ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the level of resilience and quality of life among inpatient with malignant lymphoma, and to examine the relationship between resilience and quality of life. Methods A convenience samples of 137 patients with malignant lymphoma was selected from March 2017 to March 2018. Self-designed questionnaires, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC10), and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-core (EORTC QLQ-C30) were used to assess the social-demographic and clinical related information, resilience and quality of life. Results The score of CD-RISC10 was (21.0±4.9) points, and the score general health of EORTC QLQ-C30 was (48.7 ± 24.8) points; Pearson analysis showed that resilience was significantly positively associated with quality of life (r=0.209-0.395, P<0.01). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that age, BMI, tumor types, pain, and resilience could significantly predict variance of QOL (P<0.05). Conclusions The resilience was positively correlated with quality of life among patients withmalignant lymphoma;age, BMI, tumor types, pain, and resilience were significant influence factor of QOL. It might provide a new sight to improve quality of life by resilience training for clinical interventions among patients with malignant lymphoma.
