To investigate the level of resilience and influencing factors among young stroke patients, so as to provide theoretical basis for carrying out nursing intervention.

A total of 160 young stroke patients hospitalized in Neurology Department of the First People's Hospital of Xuzhou from January 2013 to December 2015 were selected by convenience sampling method. All the research subjects were investigated with the general questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) , Social Support Rat Scale (SSRS) , Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS) and Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale for Adult (MUIS-A) . A total of 166 questionnaires were distributed and 160 valid questionnaires were collected.

The total score of resilience of 160 young stroke patients was (58.70±5.54) . The scores of tolerance, strength and optimism were (29.41±3.51) , (20.24±2.37) and (9.04±1.46) respectively. Univariate analysis showed that there were differences in the resilience scores among young stroke patients with different genders, education levels, marital status and family relationships (P<0.05) . Relevant analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between resilience score and social support, and a negative correlation between resilience score and self-perceived burden and disease uncertainty (P<0.05) . Multivariate regression analysis showed that gender, educational level, family relationship, objective support, subjective support, emotional burden, economic burden and uncertainty and unpredictability were the main influencing factors of resilience.

The level of resilience among young stroke patients is low and constrained by many factors. Nursing staff should take timely and targeted interventions to improve the level of resilience and promote the prognosis of the disease.
