Abstract: Objective To describe the status of resilience and self-care behaviors in chronic heart failure patients and to explore the relationship between resilience and self-care behaviors. Methods It was a cross-sectional survey. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the self-care behaviors with heart failure questionnaire and the demographic scale were delivered to 150 chronic heart failure patients in Shanghai Changhai Hospital. Results The score of self-care behaviors was (2.63 ± 2.01) points for chronic heart failure patients. The resilience score was (57.56 ± 8.51) points. The resilience was significantly related to the self-care behaviors(r=0.427, P<0.01), and which explained 32.4%of the total variation. Conclusions The chronic heart failure patients have poor self-care behaviors and resilience. More attention should be paid and more action be taken to improve the resilience, then improve the self-care behaviors of patients.
