“…Resilience is a multidimensional personal attribute that may be shaped by personality traits, evolving appraisals, social support systems, and family environments. 20,[27][28][29] Simply defined, it is a relative resistance to adversity 30 that has been demonstrated to influence positive outcomes after a stressful event. 29,[31][32] As measured by the Resilience Scale for Adults, it comprises protective personal and social resources.…”

“…Interventions that aim to increase resilience should be evaluated in both clinical and disease advocacy settings. Though additional research is needed to translate findings in the resilience literature into the development of effective interventions, 29 several interventions have been proposed to improve resilience. [39][40] In addition, further research should evaluate the potential benefit of routine assessment of perceived positive impact, possibly through using the single item used in this study.…”

Mothers’ psychological adaptation to Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy

et al. 2015

Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DBMD) cause significant emotional and care-related burden on caregivers, but no studies have evaluated predictors of positive caregiver outcomes, including disorder-specific psychological adaptation. Using a community-engaged approach focused on supporting mothers in positive aspects of caregiving, this prospective study aims to assess (i) the association between child's baseline functional status and mothers' illness perceptions, resilience, and coping selfefficacy; and (ii) predictors of mothers' psychological adaptation to caring for a child with DBMD. Biological mothers with at least one living child with DBMD completed a baseline survey (n = 205) with 1-year (n = 147) and 2-year (n = 144) follow-up surveys. Worse child's baseline function was associated not only with increased caregiver burden and reduced maternal resilience, but also with perception of positive disease impact on the family. At two follow-ups, increased psychological adaptation to DBMD was predicted by resilience (β = 0.264, P = 0.001) and perceived positive impact (β = 0.310, Po0.001), controlling for mother's age (β = − 0.305, Po0.001) and income (β = − 0.088, P = 0.245). Child's functional status and caregiver burden of DBMD did not predict DBMD-specific adaptation. Though clinicians caring for families with DBMD should anticipate increased caregiver burden as the disorder progresses, interventions focused on caregiver burden are not expected to influence mothers' psychosocial adaptation. Efforts to improve mothers' well-being should focus on fostering mothers' resilience and enhancing perceptions of positive disease impact (benefit finding). Results suggest that psychosocial interventions can highlight strengths and well-being rather than burden and deficit.

“…Importantly, resilience is seen as something that is dynamic rather than fixed or inherent to the individual. For resilience to occur there is a need to discontinue negative influences from the past as well as to create new opportunities (Rutter, 2013). 'Turning points' in life can occur, such a new relationship or family, which can lead to a new adult trajectory.…”

As part of a mixed methods study 26 young people, together with their carers, social workers and teachers, were asked about their educational experiences and the contributory factors to educational progress during secondary schooling. Responses from young people revealed that they were exercising control over their educational experiences -an expression of agency. They chose to engage with learning once they felt the problems in their lives were being managed and, therefore, that certain preconditions were being met. Analysis of this qualitative data was set within a

In JAMA Network Open, Angelakis et al 1 have conducted an important exploration of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their association with suicide in the pediatric age group. The authors have undertaken a meta-analysis to quantify the association between ACEs and suicide ideation, attempts, and plans, offering odds ratios (ORs) to elucidate the relative contribution of several core ACEs to eventual suicidal phenomena. Core ACEs assessed include sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, emotional and physical neglect, and "combined abuse" (when the type of abuse and neglect were undefined). Their meta-analysis includes 79 studies with 337 185 participants and, compared with prior studies, offers the advantage of greater inclusiveness, and studied both community and clinical samples with documented psychopathology. The work of Angelakis et al 1

Annual Research Review: Resilience – clinical implications

Abstract: Resilience findings do not translate into a clear programme of prevention and treatment, but they do provide numerous leads that focus on the dynamic view of what may be involved in overcoming seriously adverse experiences.
