To compare resilience in women with SLE and healthy women and determine whether sociodemographic factors and depressive symptoms were associated with resilience in patients with SLE. ⋯ The results suggest that resilience was similar between females with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and age-matched healthy women. Depressive symptoms correlated negatively with resilience in patients with SLE. Sociodemographic factors were not associated with resilience in patients with SLE.
