The Resilience in Illness Model Part 2: Confirmatory Evaluation in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Conclusions: Findings establish the RIM as a plausible predictive framework for explaining ways AYA with cancer transcend their illness and achieve resilience resolution and for guiding intervention studies in this population. Additional research is needed to explore RIM’s transferability based on stage of illness, other chronic diseases, and cultural diversity. Implications for Practice: Results support the RIM as an appropriate guide for developing and evaluating interventions to foster positive adjustment in AYA with cancer.
