Ambiguity Of Resilience

Nearly 600,000 people participated in The Resilience Project, which commenced in 2014 in a search for those who were immune to diseases that should’ve been impossible to be resistant to. In this research, researchers compared the medical records of a participant with their genes and discovered 13 who were fit, despite possessing genes supposed to had killed them or caused

Resilience is a term that is often applied to those who have faced hardship and viewed the experience in a positive light as an opportunity to grow and change for the better (Wagnild & Collins, 2009). The definition however seems to vary from place to place. Ungar et al. (2008) stated “definitions of resilience are ambiguous when viewed across cultures" (p.174) which is why the understanding of resilience may be difficult to capture (as cited in Windle, Bennett & Noyes, 2011). Although the literature agrees on several common themes about resilience there are many varying opinions on how to define the concept or the attributing factors. Earvolino-Ramirez (2007) and

Over decades, the research of resilience has developed from understanding individual’s resilience qualities and protective factors, to the process of resilience and the interventions that promote resilience (Richardson, 2002; Wright et al., 2013). Recently, the focus of resilience shift to the neurobiological process because of the development of science and technology (Wright et al., 2013). While these literatures emerging, there are two noteworthy issues. First, the outcome of the studies were mainly emphasized on main-stream population (Ungar, 2006). Second, little attention was given to resilience across cultures (Ungar, 2006; Ungar et al., 2005). Hence, it is important to investigate how resilience is being defined and understand in different cultures; what are the challenges when conducting a cross cultural research; and what are the key elements when implementing intervention in different cultures.

Resilience is of great importance for individuals working in complex and instable environments. Individual Resilience is the ability of the individuals to bounce back and sustain in the facade of adverse conditions. Research revealed that resilient employees are more likely to be productive, agile and innovative during the turbulent times, thereby making it essential to have an individual centric measure of resilience. Many such instruments are available in the literature but there is no resilience scale widely accepted by researchers and most importantly none of the instrument has been used to measure the resilience capacity of IT employees. The current study examined the psychometric properties of Connor-Davidson Resilience scale in the sample of Indian IT Executives. Data was collected using 25- Item CD-RISC scale from 160 employees of 12 IT firms located in Chandigarh tricity region. The result of exploratory principal component factor analysis with varimax rotation and Confirmatory Factor Analysis verified the original five factor structure as given by Connor and Davidson (2003). In this study 74% of variance was jointly explained by the five factors. The result supported the dimensionality, reliability (α = 0.85) and validity of the CD-RISC scale for measuring the IT Executives resilience. The results of the study helps in representing individual resilience as first order construct made up of 5 dimensions: Personal competence, High standards and Tenacity, Trust in

The importance of a person centred and inclusive approach is that your looking at the individual child and the needs of that child and also trying to meet the needs of the individual child. Such things like setting targets for them to meet and achieve would or possibly could help a child achieve. Also such things as individual learning plans can help.

Burnout is a pattern of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion in response to chronic job stressors. It is a disorder characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a low level of personal accomplishments, which primarily affects people who are dealing with other people in their work (Maslach, 1982). Burnout develops due to the persistent emotional strain, which is the result of dealing with other people who cope with serious problems. Thus, burnout could be considered as a type of professional stress, which results from the social interaction between the person who provides

Burnout is a gradual onset with symptoms coming on over time slowly. Burnout symptoms may include physical exhaustion, hopelessness, negative self-concept, having difficulty leaving home, and inability to concentrate are just some of the symptoms. Due to the gradual onset of symptoms, it is often hard to detect early (Dass-Brailsford, 2007). In McCann and Pearlman’s article they discuss burnout as a, “psychological strain from working with difficult populations” (McCann & Pearlman, 1990).

The concept of resilience to nursing practice can be proven. The concept influences how patients respond to treatment and the success of their recovery. Resilience as a tool for recovery can influence our plan of care and influence how we approach treatement of our patients. Adverse effects such as maladaptive behavior patterns and unmanageable symptoms of PTSD cause great distress in our patients. Hardiness, resilience and invulnerability have been used interchangeably to define “group of phenomena that involve adaptation in the face of adverdity.” (Roisman 2005, p. 264). The phenomena involve “a psychological response to a stressful event and how a person deals the the stress of the traumatic event.” (2005, p. 264). This concept analysis

The movie that I thought represented risk and resilience the best was The Pursuit of Happyness. This movie is it is solely based on a lower class African American male named Christopher and his family. Throughout the movie Christopher and his encounter multiple occasions where they experience distress, a stress in daily life that has negative connotations (Boss, P., Bryant, C. M., & Mancini, J. A. 2017). This distress causes a huge amount of risk that challenges him to show resilience in order to keep up with his daily life and survive. Throughout this paper I will discuss the risk, external context, internal context and resilience that Christopher experiences and how this has made him who he is today.

What does resiliency mean to you? Well, I read multiple definitions and came up with one on my own. How I define resiliency is as the ability to restore yourself from unexpected change. Every single person on earth has encountered a change at some point in their life. I have had plenty of changes in my life, mostly in my childhood. As a result of all the change I am fairly familiar with resiliency.

I believe that resilience, educational achievement, being engage with religion, positive parenting and peer relationships are some of the key drivers to the Latino/ Hispanic protective factors against negative outcomes. I believe these are essential because resilience consists of individuals who appear to make it despite growing under adverse circumstances and implied that those individuals were somehow invulnerable. Families that provide structure, limits, rules, monitoring and predictability, combats negative outcomes in many forms. Such as (parent child conflicts, poor parenting, school failure, low self esteem, early substance abuse). Factors that promote positive parenting include human capital that consists of employment, income and

Regarding the connection between resilience and burnout, there have been studies conducted in multi-occupational populations (Edward, 2005; García-Izquierdo, Ramos, & García-Izquierdo, 2009; Menezes, Fernández, Hernández, Ramos, & Contador, 2006) that have shown a negative relationship between the two variables, reflecting the moderating potential that resilience has in terms of the emergence of elements of burnout. Therefore, it makes sense to insist on the relevance of encouraging this psychological capacity from the educational sphere in order to prevent the appearance of burnout and to promote maintenance of psychological health in this population of future professionals (McAllister & McKinnon, 2009). As described above, studies with various

Growing up I have struggled with accepting that failure is okay due to having the desire to feel accomplished in anything I attempted. When I was not able to carry out what I intended, I felt the need to give up. Experiences such as these have consistently occurred in my life and taught me about resilience and perseverance. The reason resiliency is an important value to me is that whenever hardships have struck me, they have taught me to be more buoyant and keep persisting through. When I first began playing soccer, I wasn’t able to play as well as others. This ultimately led me to feel inferior to my teammates, and lose passion in the sport. Rather than being rational about the situation, I would blame my inability to perform on my teammates
