title: Resilience in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Resilience is a psychosocial factor associated with clinical outcomes in chronic diseases. The relationship between this protective factor and certain diseases, such heart diseases, is still under-explored.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The present study sought to investigate the frequency of resilience in individuals with ischemic heart disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  This was a cross-sectional study with 133 patients of both genders, aged between 35 and 65 years, treated at Rio Grande do Sul Cardiology Institute - Cardiology University Foundation, with a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease during the study period. Sixty-seven patients had a history of acute myocardial infarction. The individuals were interviewed and evaluated by the Wagnild & Young resilience scale and a sociodemographic questionnaire.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eighty-one percent of patients were classified as resilient according to the scale.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In the sample studied, resilience was identified in high proportion among patients with ischemic heart disease.
