Recently, De Caroli & Sagone (2016) deepened the differences
between the affective profiles in the dimensions of
resilience and
psychological well - being factors in Italian adolescents, underlining that adolescents with self - fulfilling profile reported higher
resilience (sense of humor, competence, adaptability, and engagement) and
psychological well - being (autonomy, purpose in life, and self - acceptance) than adolescents with the other affective profiles.
Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association
between psychological distress and
resilience, and also to investigate the influence of cancer - related
psychological experiences on relationship
between psychological distress and
resilience among partners of cancer patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy.
