Objective: The study aims to analyze the correlation between hope levels and resilience in patients with severe novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19).
Methods: Fifty-six patients with severe COVID-19 were investigated, with the use of a general information questionnaire, the Herth Hope Index, and the Connor–Davidson resilience scale.
Results: There was a significant difference in patients’ hope levels with respect to marital status and educational background (P < 0.05), and there was a significant difference in resilience scores depending on gender and family economic situation (P < 0.05). In the present study, the hope levels and resilience in the patients were moderate, with an average score of (34.93 ± 5.45) and (69.36 ± 15.52), respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between the hope level and the resilience score in these patients (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: In patients with severe COVID-19, the higher the hope level, the higher the resilience score.
