Abstract

This study aims to investigate psychological resilience in individuals with chronic illnesses and to explore the levels of psychological resilience in individuals with chronic illnesses. In addition, it investigates projective outcomes in individuals with chronic illness who exhibit low psychological hardiness. The study adopts a descriptive and clinical approach and is conducted on a sample of 30 cases, including one case of an individual with chronic illness and low psychological hardiness. The sample was purposively selected based on interviews and observations. The research instruments used include the Psychological Hardiness Scale developed by Makhmir (2002) and the Rorschach test to examine projective outcomes in the case. The results of the study indicate that individuals with chronic illness have low levels of psychological hardiness and exhibit a range of projective outcomes.
