Abstract

This paper presents an investigation whose objective was to conduct a descriptive analysis of the resilience of a group of 100 relatives of people with disabilities. We used a short questionnaire which focused on sociodemographic aspects, and the Spanish version of the Young and Wagnild Resilience Scale (1993) translated and adapted by Heilemann, Lee, and Kury (2003). Some results indicate that brothers are those who show a higher rate of cases with a higher level of resilience, followed by mothers and then fathers; resilience levels are higher in younger relatives and lower in older ones; mothers bear the burden of care for the dependent member, and there is a significant correlation between the educational level and the level of resilience.
