Sociodemographic factors and health conditions associated with the resilience of people with chronic diseases: a cross sectional study.

OBJECTIVE: to investigate the association between resilience and sociodemographic variables and the health of people with chronic kidney disease and / or type 2 diabetes mellitus.

METHOD: a cross-sectional observational study performed with 603 people with chronic kidney disease and / or type 2 diabetes mellitus. A tool to collect socio-demographic and health data and the Resilience Scale developed by Connor and Davidson were applied. A descriptive and multivariate analysis was performed.

RESULTS: the study participants had on average 61 years old (SD= 13.2), with a stable union (52.24%), religion (96.7%), retired (49.09%), with primary education (65%) and income up to three minimum wages. Participants with kidney disease showed less resilience than people with diabetes.

CONCLUSION: the type of chronic illness, disease duration, body mass index and religious beliefs influenced the resilience of the study participants.
