“…Low subject resilience is characterized by a sense of inferiority; un-openness and the absence of external support that help subject in building the future well even without the drive to be successful, a condition that happened due to low selfesteem rooted in his family circumstances. This is consistent with research conducted by Lennon & Heaman (2015) that Individuals with low resilience ability are characterized by low self-esteem, high perceptions of stress, and low interpersonal support that will adversely affect the child's psychological development. In the data that has been obtained on the characteristics of resilient individuals from the subject, it is seen that subject has a negative judgment about himself characterized by a sense of inferiority, closed personality and the absence of external support to push the subject to have a better plan for the future, subject also do not have the desire for success due to low self-esteem because of his family circumstances.…”

Losing both parents due to divorce or death is a traumatic incident that produces a source of stress in life. This will be bad for the person's life since it might create a sense of loneliness, a grave need for affection, and financial problems. Individuals need an ability to overcome problems called resilience. Resilience is a capacity to respond soundly and productively when facing misery or traumatic events. Subjects in this study experienced trauma from parental divorce and death of both parents. When both parents were still alive, the subject never received attention from his father since he had remarried while his mother was forced to work abroad to fulfill their financial needs. The subject was raised by his grandparents with a strong upbringing pattern and lacked the support for achievement. However, the subject managed to grow to be an independent adult and survive the difficult conditions suffered while still managed to be whatever he wants without harming others. The purpose of this study is to investigate the resilience dynamics of a child experiencing parental divorce and death. This research uses phenomenology approach. Subject in this study consisted of one person based on typical case sampling. The typical cases discussed here are divorce and death of both parents. Data is collected using semi-structured interview method and then analysed using thematic analysis.

BackgroundThreatened premature labor (TPL) is a severe obstetric complication which affects the mental and physical health of both the mother and fetus. Family resilience may have protective role against psychological distress in women experiencing these pregnancy complications. There may be resilience related risk factors in TPL women, and interplays may exist among psychological variables and within couples. This study aims to examine psychological outcomes influenced by different levels of resilience, and explore psychological interactions in TPL women, spouses, and between women and spouses.MethodsSix validated questionnaires were used to measure the psychological outcomes (Connor-Davidson resilience scale CD-RISC, Edinburgh postnatal depression scale EPDS, positive and negative affect scale PANAS, pregnancy pressure scale PPS, simplified coping style questionnaire SCSQ, social support rating scale SSRS) in 126 TPL women hospitalized in three tertiary hospitals and 104 spouses in Southwest China.ResultsLow resilient women had significantly more complicated placenta praevia, longer pediatric observation, more pressure than high resilient women. They also had significantly less active coping and positive affect, more negative affect and depression compared to high resilient women and their spouses. Although the socio-demographic characteristics of both TPL women and spouses and psychometric parameters of spouses had no significant differences, the prevalence rates of depression in spouses were notable. Compared with spouses, TPL women had a more complex interaction among these psychometric factors, with women’s resilience negatively associated with their partners’ negative affect, and their pressure positively correlated with pressure and negative affect of spouses.ConclusionsPregnancy complicated with placenta praevia and pediatric observation may be risk factors for resilience of women with TPL. Maternal resilience has an important impact on the psychological outcomes in TPL women. A screening for resilience, depression and other psychological outcomes in couples with TPL and early psychological intervention of low resilient couples may be appropriate to promote resilience and well-being of these families.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12955-017-0603-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…New and expecting parents are also more susceptible to additional life stress due to the greater demand on their coping resources and skills (Dunkel-Schetter, 2011). Relationship strain between parenting partners has been shown to undermine parental resilience (Harville, Xiong, Buekens, Pridjian, & Elkind-Hirsch, 2010;Lennon & Heaman, 2015). Specifically, nonresilient parents scored more highly on marital conflict and dissatisfaction with division of labor in the home (De Haan, Hawley, & Deal, 2002) and IPV, drinking behavior, and anger management difficulties are key concerns for new mothers experiencing poor resilience (Gagnon & Stewart, 2014;Baraitser & Noack, 2007).…”

“…Poor support and/ or social isolation has also been linked to lower resilience (Lennon & Heaman, 2015;Harville et al, 2010;Hynie et al, 2015) and higher levels of postpartum depression (Miranda et al, 2012). In particular, women who had poor relationships with or were unable to access their mothers due to migration reported greater distress than those who had access to this resource (Miranda et al, 2012;Schlager, 2014).…”

Multisystemic Resilience

Pregnancy, birth, and becoming a parent involves substantial changes at biological, psychological, social, and broader cultural levels. As such, it is a continuing process of adaptation to change and new demands. This chapter provides an overview of risk and resilience in pregnancy, birth, and the transition to parenthood and the impact of these experiences on both women and their infants. The first part of the chapter provides an overview of experiences of pregnancy and birth and risks that arise, in particular trauma that may be experienced during birth. The second part looks at resilience in pregnancy and birth, what we know, and what we still need to know in this area. The third part looks at theories of resilience relevant to the perinatal period and how it is important to look at resilience at different levels (e.g. epi/genetic, personal attributes, relationships, support systems, culture, and environment). The authors conclude with key considerations for future research and theory in this area.
