Relevant studies exploring resilience in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
| Authors | Year | Country | Measured resilience | Sample size | Key points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sirois | 2014 | Canada | Trait resilience | 155 (IBD) | High perception of health and high levels of resilience had greater odds of using CAM |
| Dur et al. | 2014 | Austria | Psychological resilience | 15 adults (CD) | Resilience appeared to be more salient and relevant to women vs men |
| Kilpatrick et al.a | 2015 | USA | Psychological resilience | 27 (IBD) | Female IBD with high resilience showed changes in brain-behavioural pattern |
| Scardillo et al. | 2016 | USA | Resilience as traits | 45 adults (30 IBD) | Resilience was significantly higher amongst individuals who adapted well to their ostomy |
| Sehgal et al.a | 2017 | USA | Psychological resilience | 113 | Lower level of resilience was associated with anxiety and depression; higher resilience predicted higher QOL |
| Carlsen et al. | 2017 | USA | Trait resilience—predictor of adjustment | 87 (30% adolescents, 62 CD) | Self-efficacy and resilience were significant predictors of transition readiness among adolescent and young adults with IBD |
| Melinder et al. | 2017 | Sweden | Psychosocial stress resilience | 1799 (UC) | Low-to-moderate stress resilience in adolescence correlated with increased risk of CD and UC |
| Sirois and Hirsch | 2017 | Canada | Trait resilience | 152 adults (51.7% CD) | No significant difference between resilient and thriving IBD patients on perceived social support, depressive symptoms, coping efficacy, and illness acceptance |
| Skrautvol and Naden | 2017 | Norway | Stress resilience | 13 adults (7 CD) | Several themes were delineated, notably “creating resilience through integrative care” |
| Taylor et al. | 2018 | USA | Trait resilience | 328 adults (145 UC) | Resilience positively and significantly associated with HRQOL |
| Acciari et al. | 2019 | Brazil | 11 personal traits | 104 adults (CD) | Individuals who were employed without children and males were more resilient than their counterparts; CD onset > 30 years old and individuals who had complimentary activities were more resilient |
| Hwang and Yu | 2019 | Korea | A set of quality influenced by society, relationships and psychology | 90 adults (76 CD) | Negative relation between resilience and depression; resilience was not affected by clinical characteristics in UC patients; lower income, sleep disturbances, being unmarried negatively impacted resilience in CD patients |
| Luo et al. | 2019 | China | Dynamic process of resilience | 15 adults (10 CD) | Necessary cognitive traits and resilience-specific coping mechanisms to deal constructively with IBD |
