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.
