THE IMPACT OF SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING ON RESILIENCE AMONG WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER

Abstract This study examines the relationship between resilience and well-being among individuals of different genders, age groups, and marital statuses. Findings indicate that both genders exhibit similar distributions in high and moderate well-being categories, with no statistically significant differences. Age-wise, the majority across all groups demonstrate normal resilience, with a relatively smaller proportion in high and low resilience categories. Marital status also influences resilience distribution, with unmarried and married individuals having higher proportions of normal resilience, while widowed or divorced individuals exhibit a higher percentage of low resilience. However, chi-square tests confirm that neither gender, age, nor marital status significantly influences well-being or resilience levels. These findings suggest that resilience and well-being are influenced by factors beyond demographic variables, highlighting the need for further exploration of psychological and social determinants in enhancing resilience and mental well-being.
