What was this research about?

Individuals with injuries and chronic conditions may be more likely to experience high levels of stress and changes in mood than others. However, they are also likely to be resilient, or able to remain emotionally stable, when dealing with stress. In this study, we looked at how resilience changes over one year, and how those changes may be associated with depression, fatigue, sleep problems, and physical functioning.
