The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between resilience andrnattachment patterns of orphaned children among selected orphan homes in Addis Ababa.rnAcross sectional research design was employed as a study design. Data were collected usingrnadopted versions of Connar-Davidsn resilience and Bifulco and colleagues vulnerablernattachment style questionnaires with demographic questions as tools of data collection. A totalrnof 255(140) males and (115) females) children selected through stratified random andrnpurposive sampling, were participated in the study. Data analysis was using descriptivernstatistics (percentage, mean, SD) and inferential statistics (ttest, one way ANOVA, and multiplernlinear regression). The finding of the study showed that the majority of the participants scoredrnabove average on resilience and proximity seeking attachment pattern. There was nornsignificant difference in female and male on resilience and both attachment patterns. On thernother hand there was significant difference on the level of resilience based on age and gradernlevel. The study further demonstrated the presence of statistically significant relationshiprnbetween resilience and proximity seeking attachment pattern. However there was nornstatistically significant relationship between resilience and disorganized attachment pattern.rnIn addition attachment patterns also predict 19(%) of orphaned childrenâ€™s level of resiliencernand proximity seeking pattern was found to be good predictor of resilience. However,thernfindings of the current study hold that attachment patterns were not the only factors that hasrnto be taken as a measure of resilience among orphaned children. Finally the recommendationsrnare forwarded based of the research findings
