abstract="OBJECTIVE To assess resilience and related factors among urban mid-aged Spanish women. <br><br>METHODS This was a cross-sectional study performed in 227 women aged 40-65 years who filled out the 14-item Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale (WYRS-14), the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and a questionnaire containing personal socio-demographic data. <br><br>RESULTS For the whole sample, median [interquartile range] age and total WYRS-14 score was 52.4 [8.7] years and 79 [20.0] points respectively. Resilience score was inversely related to non-working status, non-university studies, depressed mood, perimenopausal status, and higher MRS total scores (≥ 17). Using the 25th percentile of the obtained total WYRS-14 score as a cut-off value to define lower resilience (< 68.0 points), logistic regression analysis determined that low resilience was related to a being unemployed, having depressed mood and being perimenopausal. Drinking less than 3 units/day of alcohol was significantly related to higher resilience. <br><br>CONCLUSION In this sample of mid-aged urban Spanish women low resilience (lower WYRS-14 scores) was related to unemployment status, depressed mood and severe menopausal symptoms.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
