Bipolar I disorder is a subtype of bipolar disorder characterized by episodes of depression but also mania, and the etiological factors of the disorder include psychological and social factors as well as biological factors. This situation has drawn attention to psychological resilience and made it a subject to be studied in terms of strengthening the protective factors against the disease. Psychological resilience is a phenomenon that expresses a person's ability to cope with stress and recover from stressful events. This study aimed to examine spiritual, social and lifestyle factors that may be related to psychological resilience. The sample of the study consists of patients diagnosed with bipolar I disorder in the outpatient treatment unit of Bakırköy Mental and Nervous Diseases Hospital (BRSHH). The prerequisites are that the patients be between the ages of 18 and 69, can read and write, and have the disease in the euthymic phase. 'Personal Information Form' and 'Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults' were used as scales in the study. When the results were examined, it was determined that 67.4% of the people participating in the study were women and the average age was 37.7. A significant relationship was found between having previously attempted suicide and psychological resilience (t=-2.4 and p=0.02). When the relationship between being physically active and psychological endurance was examined, it was found that there was a significant and negative relationship between the time spent inactive other than sleep (r = -0.35 and p = 0.02) and the duration of sleep exceeding nine hours (r = -0.35 and p = 0.021). As a result, psychological resilience is a protective factor that can be increased by various factors, and the fact that it functions as a factor that both alleviates the severity of the disease and prevents or delays the onset of the disease is an indicator of its importance in terms of psychiatric diseases., Bipolar I disorder is characterized by 'full blown' manic episodes, and is not only affected by biological factors but also by psychological and cultural factors. This fact attracts the onto the psychological resilience, which is the ability of dealing with attention to stressful life-events and overcoming the traumatic experiences. The object of this study was to examine social, clinical and physical factors that could enhance the psychological resilience. The subjects of the study were between the ages of 18 and 69, literature and in the phase of euthymic mood. In the study, 67.4% of the subjects were women and the average age was 37.7. The scales were ‘Personal Information Form’ and ‘Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults’. It was found that there was a meaningful relationship between attempting to suicide and psychological resilience (p=0.02 and t=-2.4). When the relationship between being physically active and psychological resilience was examined, it was found that there was a meaningful and a negative correlation between psychological resilience and having a sedentary life style (p=0.02 and r=-0.35), and between psychological resilience and the time spent in sleep (p=0.021 and r=-0.35). As a result, resilience is a factor that can be enhanced with different factors and it takes roles both in the process of the disorder to smoothen the course of the disorder and before the symptoms of the disorder appear.
