| Abstract |
Resilience is the human capacity to adapt to adverse life situations; it can be enhanced by the action of various protective factors and one of the most important of these is social support. The objective of this study was to identify associations between resilience and sociodemographic variables (gender, age, income, marital status, housing arrangements and religion), as well as correlations between resilience and social support in a sample of 86 urban elderly people. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Resilience Scale and the Social Support Scale were used. The mean age was 75.7 years (SD = 5.35), with a predominance of women (72.1%, n = 62). A high level of resilience (M = 134.37, SD = 16.6) and a moderate level of social support (M = 17.36, SD = 2.77) were observed in the elderly people. There was only a significant association between resilience and religion (χ2 = 0.30; p = 0.027). Only a weak and positive correlation was observed between the factor of independence and determination on the Resilience Scale with social support (p = 0.005). Linear regression analysis revealed that social support was not a predictive variable for the capacity of resilience in the researched group. It is necessary to create new research instruments that permit a more precise study of the protective effects of social support regarding the capacity for resilience in the elderly. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 February 2019.
All research outputs
#4,721,117
of 25,784,004 outputs
Outputs from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#258
of 1,970 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#97,661
of 449,410 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#6
of 57 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,784,004 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,970 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 449,410 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 57 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
