Self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between social support and resilience, and the mediating effect accounted for 42.56% of the total effect.Conclusion: The resilience level of patients with recurrent schizophrenia in China is moderate and needs to be improved. This research revealed that self-efficacy played a part in mediating perceived social support and resilience in patients with recurrent schizophrenia in China. Perceived social support can indirectly affect resilience in patients with recurrent schizophrenia through self-efficacy. Comprehensive interventions in perceived social support and self-efficacy would help to improve the resilience of patients with recurrent schizophrenia.Keywords: recurrent schizophrenia, perceived social support, self-efficacy, resilience, mediating effect
