Association of Resilience With Depression and Health-Related Quality of Life for Patients With Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Abstract

Patients with higher resilience levels experienced a smaller decrease in HRQOL as depressive symptoms increased. Because the findings suggest that resilience can be taught, there is an opportunity to develop a resiliency training program and investigate its role in stress levels and depressive symptoms, as well as in HRQOL and disease activity.
