title: [Correlation between resilience and social support in Chinese children: a meta-analysis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To systematically evaluate the correlation between resilience and social support in Chinese children.
  
  
  METHODS
  Electronic databases including CBM, VIP, CNKI , WanFang, Embase and PubMed were searched. Studies on the correlation between resilience and social support in Chinese children published prior to April 2013 were identified. Two reviewers independently performed screening, quality assessment and data extraction, and then conducted meta-analysis using RevMan 5. 0 software.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Totally 857 relevant studies were searched and 14 studies were included for the final analysis. The meta-analysis suggested that the total score of resilience of the children were positively correlated with social support and its three dimensions. The total score of resilience had moderate correlation with social support and the use of support, while it had low correlation with subjective support and objective support.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Social support can improve the resilience of the children to some extent, especially the use of support. Targeted interventions should be carried out to improve children's resilience.
