Perceived social support with resilience (p<0.001) had a statistically significant positive correlation. With the increase of perceived social support, resilience and its subscales also increased. Also, the total resilience score has the highest correlation respectively with social support received from significant others (r=0.376, p=0.001), family (r=0.237, p=0.004), and friends (r=0.213, p=0.011).
