Abstract

ABSTRACT

Resilience is the positive adjustment to adversity. Nursing work is characterised by assisting patients and families to cope through varying types of adversity- accidents, illness, disasters and upheaval and also in encouraging and supporting people to adapt, recover and maintain wellbeing. Thus strategies to promote resilience need to be integral to nurses' daily practice. Adverse conditions are also commonly experienced by nurses themselves and this impacts negatively on attitude to work, stress and burnout and this affects the whole profession through ongoing shortages, and disengagement with the work still to be done by nursing in terms of research and practice development. This paper will discuss the meaning of resilience, how it has been researched and applied to health care and to nursing. It will suggest pro-active strategies that educators, researchers and clinical nurses can implement that work on building strength, focus and endurance in individuals, communities and the workplaces.

Key words: Stress, Adversity, Disasters, Nursing, Resilience


Resilienza: attributo personale, processo sociale e risorsa professionale chiave per il rafforzamento del ruolo dell'infermiere.

RIASSUNTO

La resilienza è il modo di affrontare positivamente le avversití . Il lavoro dell'infermiere è caratterizzato dall'assistere i pazienti e le famiglie nel far fronte a vari tipi di avversití  quali ad esempio: incidenti, malattie, disastri come anche nell'incoraggiare e supportare le persone verso la guarigione ed al mantenimento del well being. Quindi le strategie per promuovere la resilienza devono essere parte integrante della pratica quotidiana dell'infermieristica. Situazioni difficili sono anche comunemente vissute dagli infermieri stessi e questo ha un impatto negativo sul comportamento nel lavoro, comportando anche stress e burn out. Questo ha effetti negativi su tutta la professione in termini di scarsití  di personale e distacco da quanto dovrebbe essere ancora fatto dall'infermieristica in termini di ricerca e pratica. Questo articolo discuterí  il concetto di resilienza come è stato studiato ed applicato all'health care ed all'infermieristica. L'articolo suggerirí  strategie che insegnanti, ricercatori e infermieri clinici potranno implementare al fine di rafforzare il lavoro sugli individui, comunití  e luoghi di lavoro.

Parole Chiave: Stress, Avversití , Disastri, infermieristica/Infermieri, Resilienza
