In the present study, the hope levels and resilience in the patients were moderate, with an average score of (34.93 ± 5.45) and (69.36 ± 15.52), respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between the hope level and the resilience score in these patients (P < 0.05).Conclusion: In patients with severe COVID-19, the higher the hope level, the higher the resilience score.Keywords: COVID-19, severe novel coronavirus pneumonia, hope level, resilience
