This study aimed to evaluate the level of resilience and its predictors among cancer patients undergoing cancer treatments in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. Explanatory quantitative study design was conducted with 284 cancer patients who took at least one chemo and/or radiation therapy between August 15 to September 15, 2019.
