RESILIENCE
“A dynamic process in which psychological,
social, environmental and biological factors
interact to enable an individual at any stage of
life to develop, maintain or regain their mental
health, despite exposure to adversity.”
PreVAiL: http://prevail.fims.uwo.ca/theme2.html
RESILIENCE
• Most research done with children/adolescents
suffering from child maltreatment, family
violence, poverty, poor parenting, war, natural
disasters, traumatic events
• Over 80% of research on topic in the last
decade
• MeSH heading in 2010
PHYSICAL ILLNESS
• A common adversity in life
• Especially in older adults
• Acute or chronic
• May threaten survival, function, self esteem, relationships
• May involve forced dependence/disability
• Has economic consequences
• May alter life course
QUESTIONS
• What factors have been reported as
predicting, promoting, or associated with
resilience in the physically ill?
• Can these be used to enhance the care of
the physically ill and improve outcomes?

COMPARISON OF RESULTS
1950-2009: 475 articles retrieved
52 included in review
2009- 2014: 6060 articles retrieved
154 included in review
RESULTS
• Most papers included both sexes
• Age varied by disease state
• 80% participants were White
• Few Afro-American, Asian, East Asian,
Hispanic, Aboriginal, or not specified
• More papers had n > 100 in 2014
• Quality better in 2014
1. PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS
ASSOCIATED WITH RESILIENCE
• Self transcendance, self esteem, internal LOC, optimism, mastery, hope
• Self efficacy correlated with family and social functioning, self care, physical and psychological well-being
• Internal LOC associated with better resilience, adjustment, positive life outcomes
• Self esteem, flexibility, and mastery predict better psychol/physical wellbeing
1. PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS (Cont.)
• Hardiness predictive of: better physical, mental
and spiritual well being, adherence,
satisfaction and size of social network
• Rather than having good friends and high
income, a high level of mastery might help
chronically ill patients cope and adapt to
illness (Mertens VG et al. 2012)
2. COPING STRATEGIES
• Spirituality
• Positive cognitive appraisal
• Positive life orientation
• Sense of coherence
• Coping with uncertainty
• Benefit finding
• Anger management
3. SOCIAL SUPPORT
• SS from family and friends associated with
resilience
• SS associated with better psychological health,
benefit-finding, hardiness and self esteem
• 1914 chronic pain patients: widowed patients
were resilient: ? stress inoculation (Wade JB et
al. 2013)
• Couples’ relationship increases resilience (Blazquez A et al. 2012)
• Physician- patient relationship increases resilience (Jenkins SA. 2011)
4. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS 2009-14
• 5858 Scottish patients with pain: resilience associated with housing, employment, sex, age, used less healthcare, lower mortality (Elliott H AM et al. 2014)
• “Deprived” areas in English Census (2001-2003) that had “health resilience” (MMR) showed more “place attachment, natural environment and social capital” (Cairns-Nagi JM et al. 2013)
ENVIRONMENT 2009-14 (Cont.)
• Increased community and social support associated with increased resilience in elderly rural Australians (Inder KJ. 2012)
• “Hispanic culture” (familism, religion, social resources) may enhance resilience (Gallo LC. 2009)
• Leisure programs for older adults with chronic illness increased resilience (Hutchinson SL. 2012)
QUALITATIVE STUDIES THEMES
• Hope
• Empowerment
• Acceptance of Illness
• Determination
• Sense of coherence
RESILIENCE AND SPECIFIC ILLNESSES
CV: Internal locus of control, social support,
personal control, self efficacy
Stroke: Self care, self efficacy
HIV/AIDS: Positive appraisal of illness,
hardiness, cognitive appraisal, internal
locus of control, social support, spirituality
Diabetes: Self efficacy, self care, hardiness
RESILIENCE AND SPECIFIC ILLNESSES
(Cont.)
Cancer: Cognitive appraisal, social support,
acceptance, hope, empowerment,
spirituality, sense of coherence,
relationship with parents, self efficacy
Autoimmune (RA, LE, OA): optimism,
spirituality, self esteem, self efficacy
RESILIENCE AND SPECIFIC
ILLNESSES (Cont.)
Mixed diseases: Early life experiences, past successful coping, spirituality, determination, independence, hardiness, sense of coherence, education, mastery, social support, cognitive appraisal, self efficacy, self esteem, optimism
Are these REALLY specific to the illness?
Can we use this knowledge in dealing with physically ill individuals to enhance their coping and resilience?

DISCUSSION
• Psychological factors that increase
resilience found in other groups, also
apply in physical illness
• Other factors identified more specifically in
physical illness
• Self care, treatment adherence,
HRQOL, illness perception,
pain perception, exercise
• Environmental contributions are new
• Interventions are new
DISCUSSION
• Study on osteoarthritis found resilience
was more important in predicting pain and
physical function than disease severity
and the effect of resilience on pain was
mediated through self esteem.
• This may well be true for other conditions
but needs evidence!
• Cost implications?
DISCREPANCIES
• Differences in study methods, quality,
personal or illness characteristics
• Internal LOC and high self efficacy more
beneficial if disease controllable
• Severe illness with physical limits more likely
to need more SS
• Effect of collectivist vs. individualistic
cultures
• Need to study relationships between factors
CONCLUSIONS
• Specific psychological, coping and social support strategies emerged that may be useful in caring for the physically ill
• Coping strategies (active, positive appaisal, spirituality)
• Encourage ill people to talk of other challenging situations they have mastered and how
• Encourage realistic sense of hope, optimism, mastery
• Self care, pain management, disease management, rehab, info
• Enhance social support and environmental support
CONCLUSIONS
• Need better studies into interventions to increase resilience: individual, group, community, web-based
• Consider full range of health providers and environment
• Across the life span: children to elderly
• Increasing resilience may have individual and social benefits (including cost savings)
“A fortunate few will not only find resilience
but discover new found strength and
meanings, resulting in benefit finding and
post traumatic growth through coping with
illness.”
“Not all physically ill may recover physical
health but assisting patients to enhance
their resilience may enable them to live
and function better with their illness-a very
worthwhile endeavor.”
Stewart and Yuen 2011
