What does this research mean for the field?

Physical resilience in older stroke survivors is heterogeneous and can be categorized into three distinct profiles (low, moderate, and high) that are predicted by demographic and psychosocial factors, with coping and lifestyle adjustment serving as the core bridge node. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To identify distinct subgroups of physical resilience in older stroke survivors and evaluate differences in psychosocial network structures across these profiles.
Conducted a cross-sectional study of 346 older adults with stroke recruited via convenience sampling from a tertiary Grade-A hospital in Daqing, China.
Administered standardized instruments measuring physical resilience (PRIFOR), social support (PSSS), depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (SAS), health behaviors (HBS-SP), and rehabilitation self-efficacy (SSEQ).
Classified subgroups and modeled variable relationships using latent profile analysis and network analysis.
Identified three distinct resilience profiles: low physical resilience–externally dependent (31.5%), moderate physical resilience–balanced (35.0%), and high physical resilience–proactive optimistic (33.5%).
Profile membership was significantly predicted by education, comorbidities, social support, anxiety, depression, health behaviors, and rehabilitation self-efficacy.
Network structures differed significantly between moderate and high resilience groups, with coping and lifestyle adjustment serving as the central bridge node.
