Individual and Socioecological Resilience in Childhood-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Associations With Patient Characteristics and Psychosocial Patient-Reported Outcomes

J RheumatolPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Greater resilience was associated with fewer ACEs and better health-related communication, patient-reported mental health, and executive functioning.

26.0 (SD 7.1)
Socioecological resilience (Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised (CYRM-R)), mean (SD)
73.4 (SD 9.1)
Higher CD-RISC-10 associated with better health literacy (communication subscale), β
0.99 (0.45-1.55), P < 0.01 (95% CI)
Higher CYRM-R associated with better health literacy (communication subscale), β
0.84 (0.13-1.55), P = 0.02 (95% CI)
Lower CYRM-R associated with higher number of ACEs, β
