Abstract

The aim of this study was to study psychological and social resilience with coronary anxiety among students and employees of University Tabriz. The research design was a comparative and correlational type. The statistical population included students and employees the University of Tabriz. Using convenience sampling and through cyberspace, 1321 subjects were selected, And Conor and Davidson (2003) psychological resilience scales, Rezaei and Bastami Nia social resilience (1396) and Alipour virus corona anxiety scale; Ghadimi, Alipour and Abdollahzadeh (1400) were used to collect the data. The results of t-test for independent group showed that coronary anxiety was not significant for gender and place of residence (urban and rural). Analysis of variance revealed that there was a significant difference in coronary anxiety between different age groups. In this regard, people over 43 years of age reported higher and significant coronary anxiety. Multivariate regression also showed that psychological and social resilience predicted 18% of the variance in coronary anxiety disorder. That is, the higher the psychological and social resilience, the lower the coronary anxiety. Due to the positive relationship between aging and coronary anxiety, as well as the positive role of psychological and social resilience in reducing coronary anxiety, developing necessary psychological and social interventions to reduce coronary anxiety are suggested for this age group.
