PURPOSE
Individuals with head and neck cancer (HNCa) face myriad biopsychosocial challenges. Even after treatment completion, these challenges may cause continued disablement and diminished quality of life (QoL). Resilience may serve to minimize the disabling impact of HNCa and, in turn, maximize QoL. The purpose of this study was to formally assess resilience in HNCa survivors and explore its relationship with QoL.
METHODS
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. Forty HNCa survivors completed three validated, self-report questionnaires pertaining to the collection of resilience and QoL data. Descriptive and correlational analyses were performed.
RESULTS
Resilience was identified in HNCa survivors and a positive correlation was found between resilience and QoL.
CONCLUSIONS
Data suggest that resilience may buffer the influence of HNCa on QoL. Thus, screening for reduced levels of resilience may proactively facilitate identification of those who are most vulnerable to the psychosocial impact of HNCa. Interventions that foster resilience may ameliorate the challenges of HNCa and maximize QoL.
目的
头颈部癌症（HNCa）患者面临着众多的生物心理社会挑战。即使在治疗完成后，这些挑战也可能导致持续的残疾和生活质量（QoL）下降。韧性可以最大限度地减少 HNCa 的致残影响，从而最大限度地提高 QoL。本研究的目的是正式评估 HNCa 幸存者的韧性，并探讨其与 QoL 的关系。
方法
进行了一项横断面描述性研究。40 名 HNCa 幸存者完成了三份与韧性和 QoL 数据收集相关的经过验证的自我报告问卷。进行了描述性和相关性分析。
结果
在 HNCa 幸存者中发现了韧性，并且韧性与 QoL 之间存在正相关关系。
结论
数据表明，韧性可以缓冲 HNCa 对 QoL 的影响。因此，筛查韧性水平降低可能会主动识别那些最容易受到 HNCa 心理社会影响的人。促进韧性的干预措施可以改善 HNCa 的挑战并最大限度地提高 QoL。
