“…In addition to life satisfaction, resilience is a key component of the positive psychology movement, which claims that the best way to address mental health issues is to promote strengths that may act as buffers against pathology (Suldo & Hueber, 2004; Greene, Galambos, & Lee, 2004). Resilience is the ability to bounce back in the face of stressful life events (Tugade & Fredrickson, 2004).…”

The numbers of Mexican Americans living in the United States, many of whom are first generation immigrants, are increasing. The process of immigration and acculturation can be accompanied by stress, as an individual attempts to reconcile two potentially competing sets of norms and values and to navigate a new social terrain. However, the outcomes of studies investigating the relationship between levels of acculturation and well-being are mixed. To further investigate the dynamic of acculturation, this article will address the impact of acculturation and familismo, on reported life satisfaction and resilience among Mexican American adults living in the Southwest (N=307), the majority (89%) of which are immigrants. The findings indicate that bilingual individuals report significantly higher levels of life satisfaction and resilience than their Spanish-speaking counterparts do. Speaking primarily English only predicted higher levels of resilience but not life satisfaction. Implications for social work practice with Mexican American immigrants are discussed.

“…[31,32] Resiliency is an individual's resources and strengths (external and internal) which provide the capability to endure, recover and thrive despite life stressors and challenging demands. [14,27,33] Compassion fatigue consists of two components: burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS). [16-18, 24, 31, 34] STS refers to the caregiver ill effects from witnessing the pain and suffering of others.…”

Nurse residents are at greater risk of compassion fatigue compared to more experienced nurses. The amended 2015 Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education Standards of Entry-To-Practice Accreditation of Nurse Residency Programs require that residency programs include approaches to prevent compassion fatigue in their education experiences. This manuscript reports 6-month follow-up results of a longitudinal study in new graduate nurses that evaluated the influence of a four-hour resiliency intervention for compassion fatigue in two hospitals with nurse residency programs within an academic medical center system. We previously reported a statistically significant decrease in mean STS from baseline to 2-months (p < .001). Using a paired t-test, compassion satisfaction (CS) and the two elements of compassion fatigue (CF), secondary traumatic stress (STS) and burnout (BO), were measured against 6-month post-intervention. Prevalence and changes in mean scores were reported, suggesting that the results found at 2-month follow-up (n = 94) were sustained at 6-month follow-up (n = 34). The mean STS showed a statistically significant decrease from 2-months and 6-months (p < .001). A decrease in BO and mean increase in CS were not statistically significant, but were trending in a positive direction. As theorized, both STS and BO decreased from baseline to 2-months and 6-months after the-intervention, and CS increased. These results indicate that early compassion fatigue resiliency education may be helpful in increasing CS and lowering the symptoms of CF in nurse residents.

“…Luthar, Cicchetti and Becker (2000) and Cicchetti and Becker (2013) view resilience as a construct connoting the maintenance of positive adaptation by individuals despite experiences of significant adversity. Gordon and Coscarelli (1996), and Greene, Galambos, and Lee (2004) view resilience as the ability to thrive, grow and increase competence in the face of adverse circumstances. Considering resiliency in the context of large social system, Cordina (2004a, b) presents a conceptual framework applicable to economic resilience of nations, and discusses that saving and capital formation in an economy, in response to a situation of vulnerability, can be important sources of resilience.…”
