Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, severely debilitating chronic autoimmune disorder. While mental health symptoms are highly correlated with disease severity for most people with SSc, a small proportion copes well despite serious disease. We will validate a resilience measure and evaluate the role of resilience in SSc.
