Correlations were significant , positive , and linear between resilience and hope (r = .57 , p < .01 ) , resilience and mindfulness (r = .50 , p less than .01 ) , and hope and mindfulness (r = .44 , p less than .01 ) . Suggestions for clinical interventions aimed at increasing resilience by increasing hope and mindfulness are provided |
