An understanding of what variables are involved in a better adjustment to chronic disease makes it possible to implement more suitable community healthcare interventions. It also allows the design of educational programmes aimed at increasing the independence of these patients, thereby enabling them to achieve a better health status. Both the personality and the resilience of the patient have been shown to play an important role in the process of adjusting to the new living conditions that result from having a chronic disease. Yet, to date, little research has been conducted in this area. This study uses structural equation modelling to explore the relationships among the personality factors, resilience and the variables of adjustment to disease (i.e. quality of life and level of self-care). The sample consists of 125 patients with a drainage enterostomy. Results show that the relationship model with the best fit is the one that considers resilience as a mediating variable in the relation between personality and disease adjustment variables. The implications of the findings and the limitations of the study are also discussed
