Resilience and distress among young adults with chronic health conditions: A longitudinal study

CONCLUSIONS: A resilient personality prototype appears to operate through its beneficial association with perceived control to prospectively predict distress reported by emerging adults with CHC. The self-regulatory properties theoretically associated with a resilient personality prototype may function through perceptions of control which, in turn, prevent prolonged experiences of distress. Clinical implications are considered.PMID:37186348 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12667
