Objective：To explore the characteristic of resilience in depression patients，and the relevant factors which effect on resilience. Methods: Sixty depression patients were selected，they were assessed by Self-rating depression scale(SDS)、Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale（CD-RISC）、simplified coping style questionnaire（SCSQ）and self-esteem scale（SES）.Results:①The CD-RISC of patients who under 30 years of age were lower than who over 30 years old（P<0.05）,CD-RISC of patients who with severe depression were lower than those with moderate and mild depression（P<0.05）,CD-RISC of patients who had suicidal intention were lower than who had no suicidal intention(P<0.05).②The resilience was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms（r=-0.56，P<0.01）.Both active coping style and self-esteem were positively correlated with resilience(r=0.785，0.650，P<0.01);negative coping style had no correlated with resilience（r=0.128，P>0.05）.③Depressive symptoms、active coping style and self-esteem had a predictive effect on resilience（R²=0.723，P<0.05）.Conclusion:The resilience is negatively correlated with depressive symptoms.Active coping style and self-esteem are influence factors on resilience.By changing active coping style and raising self-esteem can improve the resilience of the patients so as to promote their rehabilitation．
