Nevertheless, hospitalization and surgery are accompanied by a large amount of stress and anxiety for patients. Resilience is one of the related variables with threatening experiences and stressors. The aim of the present research was determining and comparing resilience in patients undergoing CABG and healthy subjects based on personal and hospital factors.Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the statistical population included all patients undergoing CABG admitted to hospitals in Tehran in 2018. The research sample included 85 patients with CABG and 85 healthy subjects (total of 170 subjects), who were selected from Hazrat-e Rasoul-e Akram Hospital and Imam Khomeini Hospital. The Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale and a personal and hospital factors checklist were used to collect the data.Results: In this study, it was found that there was not a statistically meaningful difference between resilience distribution in CABG patients and healthy subjects (p≥0/05). Moreover, there was meaningful relationship between personal factors (age and occupation) and patients’ resilience; also, there was no meaningful relationship between hospital factors and patients’ resilience andin healthy subjects, the relationship between age and resilience was negative and meaningful, and between education and resilience was positive and meaningful.Conclusion: Resilience is a capacity and skill which can be trained and learned. Based on the results, people who are more knowledgeable have more chance to improve their resilience. Therefore, concentrating and emphasizing on patients’ resilience deserves more attention. %U http://www.jimc.ir/article_96272_ae66f5399c15d91c1182ddfcba946281.pdf
