"Resilience?" perspectives from adults living with sickle cell disease

CONCLUSION: This study suggests that current definitions of resilience used in validated survey measures do not match how adults living with SCD define resilience. Our results expand the understanding of resilience as a dynamic process, more about the process of "not giving up." These findings suggest that providers may find it productive to facilitate conversations with adults living with SCD around "how" they approach challenges. This study is also the first of its kind to examine resilience in a community living with SCD.PMID:38538428 | DOI:10.1016/j.jnma.2024.01.002
