Resilience and its associated factors in brain tumor patients in Karachi, Pakistan: An analytical cross-sectional study.

Our study highlights the function of familial/household role and working status in mediating resilience, and demonstrates the well-known protective effect of resilience for mental health in brain tumor patients in Pakistan, a South-Asian LMIC. These findings are of clinical relevance with regards to the development of culture-specific evidence-based resilience-building interventions that may help patients with brain tumors to cope with the psychological distress of cancer.
