The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of resilience and hope on grit when controlling for demographic covariates, depression, and anxiety in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This was a cross-sectional study with a sample of 348 participants with MS. Descriptive statistics were performed to examine participants' demographic characteristics. A three-step hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the extent to which resilience and hope explain the unique variance in grit while controlling for demographic covariates, depression, and anxiety. Findings suggested that resilience and hope explained a significant amount of variance in grit when controlling for demographic covariates, depression, and anxiety. Furthermore, higher resilience and hope scores were associated with higher grit scores. Given that resilience, hope, and grit are modifiable, rehabilitation and mental health professionals (e.g., psychologists, psychiatrists, rehabilitation counselors) can integrate strength-based interventions into their practices to bolster resilience, hope, and grit in people with MS. Our paper also has implications for interdisciplinary research and clinical practice.
本研究的目的是在控制多发性硬化症（MS）患者的人口统计学协变量、抑郁和焦虑的情况下，检验心理韧性和希望对毅力的影响。这是一项横断面研究，样本为348名MS患者。进行描述性统计以检查参与者的人口统计学特征。进行了三步分层回归分析，以评估在控制人口统计学协变量、抑郁和焦虑的情况下，心理韧性和希望在多大程度上解释了毅力的独特方差。研究结果表明，在控制人口统计学协变量、抑郁和焦虑时，心理韧性和希望解释了毅力的大量方差。此外，较高的心理韧性和希望得分与较高的毅力得分相关。鉴于心理韧性、希望和毅力是可以改变的，康复和心理健康专业人员（如心理学家、精神科医生、康复顾问）可以将基于优势的干预措施纳入他们的实践中，以增强MS患者的心理韧性、希望和毅力。我们的论文也对跨学科研究和临床实践具有启示意义。
