Resilience and spiritual well-being as resources for coping with radiotherapy and surviving in patients with glioblastoma
Data showed that high spiritual well-being was associated with high resilience and an absence of psychosocial distress in our sample of glioblastoma patients undergoing radiochemotherapy. Patients with greater resilience survived longer than those with lesser resilience. Profiling spiritual well-being and resilience in glioblastoma patients undergoing radiochemotherapy can be seen as a resource to identify novel characteristics to improve clinical take-in-charge of glioblastoma patients.
