Research about resilience in bipolar disorders (sBDs is scarce, or lacking in reference to qualitatve studies. A qualitatve phenomenological study was performed to understand the intrapersonal process of resilience as experienced by patents in remission from BD and from the perspectves of clinicians experts in BD. A total of 15 partcipants in remission from BD (smean age = 42.88 and SD = 11.99s partcipated in individual interviews or in a focus group. Six mental health clinicians atended two focus groups. Data were transcribed for thematic analysis. All partcipants reported a meaningful experience of resilience during the remission journey from BD, identfying seven main themes. . Although data were retrospectve and sensitve to memory bias, fndings are relevant for interventons in BD.

The goal of this research project was to develop a new questionnaire to assess resilience in Bipolar Disorder (BD), the Resilience Questionnaire for Bipolar Disorder (RBD). To examine its psychometric properties, a sample of 125 patients diagnosed with BD and a comparison sample of 107 people completed the new RBD and established measures of generic resilience and health-related outcomes. Exploratory factor analysis for the RBD yielded a 23-item 5-factor solution, and confirmatory factor analysis indicated adequate fit indices. Internal consistency, stability, concurrent validation and known-groups' validity were also supported. The RBD obtained higher responsiveness (6-month follow-up) than the generic resilience scale (BD sample). The RBD is a robust measure to monitor resilience in BD.
