Summary and Support

  • Given the complexities one may encounter in defining the apparently simple concept of resilience, an analysis which examines the concept from a variety of disciplinary approaches is immensely beneficial. A study[1] which employs concept analysis, consultation interviews and systematic review, indicates the following:
    • Resilience can be described as the process of effectively adapting to, negotiating, or handling significant sources of trauma or stress.
    • Resources within individuals, their environments and their lives can enhance this capacity for ‘bouncing back’ and adaptation in the face of adversity.
    • Across the span of life, from childhood to old age, the experience of resilience might vary.
