Abstract

Resilience is understood as a response to stress that is especially important in people who live with their diagnosed partner, who is facing chronic kidney disease. The descriptive scope study, whose method has a quantitative approach and its design is non-experimental cross-sectional, aimed to describe the level of resilience by evaluating five resilient factors (personal satisfaction, equanimity, feeling good alone, self-confidence and perseverance), applying the instrument "Resilience Scale of Wagnild and Young (1993)" to the respective carer couple that accompanies in their disease process. Performed to 61 people in the renal transplant unit of a private clinic in the city of Cali, and selecting according to the inclusion criteria 45 people who answered the entire survey adequately. The results, both for women with 60% and for men with 40% incidence allowed to know the presence of the resilient factors for each sociodemographic variable and couple, which contribute in the effectiveness of the treatment of the person diagnosed, as well as that in the approach of psychosocial intervention in the couple of people suffering from this diagnosis.
