AIM:To study the relationship between resilience and quality of life(QOL)in patients with digestive cancer.METHODS:The resilience of patients was measured prior to treatment,and their psychological distress,fatigue status,and treatment side effects were assessed 3 wk after.Their QOL was measured after their treatment ended.A relationship model of these variables was constructed using path analysis.RESULTS:Resilience explained 33.2%of the variance in psychological distress,16.1%of the variance in fatigue,and 1.23%of the variance in side effects.The relationship between resilience and QOL was statistically significant(β=0.119,t=4.499,P<0.001)when psychological distress,fatigue,and side effects were absent from the regression model,whereas the adjusted regression coefficient of resilience was not statistically significant(t=1.562,P>0.05)when thesevariables were added.Psychological distress,together with fatigue and side effects,could explain 52.40%of the variance in QOL(P<0.05).Physiological distress accounted for 28.94%of the total effect on QOL,fatigue accounted for 33.72%,side effects accounted for 22.53%,and resilience accounted for 14.80%.CONCLUSION:Resilience is not an independent predictor of QOL in patients with digestive cancer,but it is a main factor influencing psychological distress and side effects.
