Item Características sociodemográficas que inciden en la resiliencia de pacientes con cáncer(REDES)This work is based on investigating the effect of socio-demographic characteristics on resilience in cancer patients. Resilience refers to the capacity to recover from adversity and even learn and emerge stronger from them. General objective: to know the effect of socio-demographic characteristics that affect the resilience of cancer patients. Methods: This is a descriptive type of research, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design, with a total sample of 61 adult patients diagnosed with cancer, randomly chosen from waiting rooms. Results: 61 patients were included with a frequency of 70% female and 30% male. By age group, 31% are less than 50 years old, 46% are within the ages of 50 and 70 years and 23% are older than 70 years of age. By income group, 41% have a monthly income ranging from 0 to 299.00 dollars a month, 23% between 300.00 and 699.00 dollars a month and 36% have a monthly income of 700.00 dollars or more. By religious belief group, 93% are Catholic, 4% are Evangelical and 1% are Jehovah’s Witnesses. 6% of them live alone and 93% live accompanied. It was observed that there are statistically significant differences between the average score of resilience and the variables: income, religion, whether or not the person lives alone or not, civil status and gender.
