Abstract
The study examined the impact of resilience on posttraumatic growth (PTG) after a successful renal transplant. The contribution of clinical and socio-demographic correlates influencing PTG was investigated using a cross-sectional research design. A purposive sample of 113 male and 23 female renal transplant recipients (RTRs) were recruited from government and private hospitals of Lahore and were assessed with Urdu versions of Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) developed by Connor and Davidson (2003) and posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI) developed by Tedeschi and Calhoun (1996). The findings revealed that resilience significantly predicted PTG, along with educational levels and current employment. Cholesterol level was the only factor that influenced PTG in clinical conditions.
