Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to explore the relationship between the level of chronic fatigue and the level of psychological resilience among fibromyalgia patients in Amman.

Methods: The study included 115 patients, selected using the convenience sampling method. To achieve the study's objectives, two scales were applied to measure chronic fatigue and psychological resilience, with their validity and reliability verified. A descriptive correlational approach was used.

Results: The results indicated that the levels of chronic fatigue and psychological resilience were moderate, with an inverse relationship between them. No statistically significant differences in chronic fatigue levels were found due to gender, marital status, or duration of illness, but significant differences were observed due to age. Similarly, no statistically significant differences in psychological resilience levels were found based on gender, age, marital status, or duration of illness.

Conclusions: The study recommends providing counseling and treatment programs for fibromyalgia patients that focus on reducing chronic fatigue and enhancing psychological resilience.
