Join host Dr. Anna Wolska as she explores a new study in Lupus Science & Medicine on how positive psychosocial factors—such as resilience, self-efficacy, and emotional support—can reduce stress in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In this episode, she speaks with Drs. Kimberly DeQuattro and Sarah Patterson about these factors' protective effects, even for those with trauma histories, and discusses the study's implications for patient care and how enhancing these factors can improve outcomes in lupus management.
