Resilience in Rural Community-Dwelling Older Adults
The Journal of Rural Health, 09/24/09

Wells M – The mean resilience level of the sample was high. Resilience was not correlated with any of the socio–demographic factors which included gender, age, income, education, marital, and employment status. There was a weak positive correlation between social networks and resilience levels of rural older adults. Both physical and mental health status were positively correlated with resilience. In a regression model, mental health status was the strongest predictor of resilience levels. If low resilience levels are identified in rural community–dwelling older adults, interventions to build resilience may be helpful in promoting independence; however, further research is needed to determine this.
