Among 105 individuals receiving cancer treatment, psychosocial distress was negatively related to resilience, while self-transcendence was positively related to resilience. The regression analysis showed that higher psychosocial distress corresponded to lower resilience, and higher self-transcendence corresponded to higher resilience. Psychiatric nurses may help patients identify sources of self-transcendence to support resilience.
