This article aims to measure the levels of Subjective Well-Being (SWB) and resilience in diabetics, as well as to verify the correlation between resilience and the factors that make up the subjective well-being. The SWB and resilience scales were applied in 104 diabetic patients (mean age= 56.16; SD= 13.01), living in the city of JoNo Pessoa- PB. The results showed that 65.4% of the participants presented high levels of SWB. With respect to resilience, it was verified that the majority have between moderate (63.5%) and high capacity (28.8%), besides a better performance in the dimension of actions and values. It was found that the positive affect dimension of the SWB scale correlated with the actions and values dimensions (r = 0.58) and self-confidence (r = 0.23) of the resilience scale. Thus, increasing the experience of positive emotions among diabetics, can act to increase better acceptance of self in relation to the disease and its treatment.

Palabras clave : diabetes mellitus; chronic disease; subjective well-being; resilience psychological.
