dc.description.abstractHealth resilience improves coping, disease management, and quality of life for people living with chronic disease. Due to challenges posed by displacement, lifestyle changes required for managing type 2 diabetes, and disruptions caused by COVID-19 mitigation measures, there is increased risk for complications for newly arrived refugees living with type 2 diabetes, but many manage well. The purpose of this study was to explore how Arabic-speaking refugees in New Brunswick use health resilience to manage type 2 diabetes during resettlement in Canada, within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. A grounded theory approach was used to describe the process of health resilience from participants’ perspectives. Self-reliance was found to be a core driver of participants’ decision-making, actions, and interpretations in health management and resettlement. Future examinations of self-reliance may increase understanding of health resilience and unveil clinical applications for others living with chronic disease.
