Abstract

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate coping and resilience levels and affecting factors in candidates for bariatric surgery. Design and Methods This was a descriptive study. Data were collected with Personal Information Form, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Ways of Coping Inventory. Findings This study was completed with 138 bariatric surgery candidates with a mean age of 35.70 +/- 10.76. Candidates used problem-focused coping, and their resilience level was moderate. Practice Implications Psychiatric nurses can develop training and counseling programs for the bariatric surgery candidates to enhance problem-focused coping and psychological resilience. These programs can apply routinely throughout the preoperative period and the postoperative period.
