“…In addition, we also found that resilience was strongly and negatively linked to the PSQI scores and perceived stress, that is, it could effectively improve the sleep quality and reduce the levels of perceived stress by improving psychological resilience. Several surveys conducted before supported our findings ( Lamis et al, 2018 ; Li et al, 2019 ; Blanc et al, 2020 ). Using a big sample of college students ( n = 1065), Li and his colleagues indicated the direct effect of resilience on sleep quality.…”

“…As a positive psychological outcome or adaptation process, individuals could decrease sleep disorders by adjusting and adapting this prosses among left-behind children ( Yao, 2012 ). By sampling the older women who resided in communities, the cross-sectional investigation conducted in New York revealed that resilience had emerged as a positive and strong independent predictor of sleep quality ( Blanc et al, 2020 ). Similarly, the longitudinal survey with a great sample of pregnant women in Finland demonstrated that a higher level of resilience predicted better sleep quality ( Der Zwan et al, 2017 ).…”

The current research aims to prove the impact of resilience on sleep quality and to investigate the mediating function of perceived stress in the paths from resilience to sleep quality among disabled Chinese elders. The participants were 196 elders with visual and physical disability who resided in the nursing houses in Shanghai, including 102 males and 94 females whose mean age was 74.5 years old (standard deviation = 6.81). All the elders were measured with the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Perceived Stress Scale. The results showed that all the demographic variables were significantly related to perceived stress and PSQI scores. High levels of resilience could significantly enhance the quality of sleep in disabled Chinese elders. In addition, the two-step mediation models also confirmed the impact of resilience on sleep quality as mediated through perceived stress in this special aged population. Better knowledge on the mechanisms of sleep quality among older adults could benefit the prevention and treatment of some geriatric diseases.

“…Migrant workers from rural to urban areas are generally engaged in low-wage, unskilled labour, which is characterised by low earnings, job instability and economic fragility (Choudhari, 2020). Although there is no universal agreement among academics on a particular definition of resilience, they all concur on the idea of resilience as a protecting characteristic adjacent to traumatic circumstances (Blanc et al, 2020). Regardless of discipline, resilience is distinct as the potential of an individual to bounce back after experiencing stress or risk factors.…”

About 450 million of 1.2 billion Indians migrated within the country, according to recently released Census 2011 data. Of this, 78 million, or 15.6% of all domestic migrants, moved from rural to urban areas. This is how their numbers have changed over 2001 and where they moved. Migrant workers show an enhancement in the occurrence of stern maladaptation to the host cities due to slaughter of social eminence, inequity and parting from the family. Several migrant workers are not entitled to avail of basic facilities such as education, social security, housing and medical benefits. Using a resilience perspective, this study attempted to find out adaptive protective factors responsible for the resilience of migrant labour in the host city. Data was collected through an interview schedule by using a structured questionnaire on 240 migrant workers in the Tiruchirappalli district of Tamil Nadu. The questionnaire was constructed on demographic characteristics and different dimensions of adaptive protective factors such as structural adaptation, labour market competitiveness, opportunity for informal entrepreneurship, language acquisition and access to mobility on the seven-point Likert scale. By doing structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), it is found that favourableness in structural adaptation and opportunity for informal entrepreneurship stood out as the most predictive adaptive protection factors along with language acquisition, access to mobility and level of competitiveness in the labour market for migrant workers.

“…Lack of sleep can also cause decreased cognitive function, increased depression and anxiety, difficulty in mobility, and increased risk of falling to the risk of death [16]. The resilience factor, indicated by the Index of Self-Regulation of Emotion (ISE) and religious health beliefs, emerged as the strongest independent predictor of sleep disturbance for the African population [17].…”

Background: Aging processes in the elderly lead to degenerative diseases, one of them being essential hypertension. The elderly with hypertension often complain about sleeping problems, difficulty staying awake, often waking up in the middle of the night, and later difficulty going back to sleep, waking up too early, and sleeping poorly. Treatment of sleeping problems may include pharmacology and non-pharmacology. One nonpharmacological treatment was a complementary therapy called foot massage with Swedish techniques. The purpose is to determine the effect of Swedish foot massage therapy on sleep quality in the elderly with essential hypertension. Method: Literature Review. Data Sources: Science Direct, Springer Nature, Hindawi, Researchgate, and Sinta. The research method used is Literature Review with the PICO Analyst method (Problem, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome) from 2011 to 2021 with the keywords "Swedish foot massage" AND "sleep quality" AND "hypertension". Based on the purpose of this study, the researcher reviewed 256 articles, and 251 were excluded. Results: Based on the results of the analysis of 5 journals, the duration of the research intervention varies widely, ranging from 2 days to 1 month. The average frequency of an intervention is 1-2 times a day. The duration of each meeting ranges from 20-40 minutes. Conclusions: Based on the results of the analysis of 5 journals, the intervention of Swedish foot massage therapy significantly improves the sleep quality of hypertensive patients. The researchers recommend Swedish foot massage therapy to improve the quality of sleep for people with essential hypertension.
