“…This scoping review found three main categories of adversity: traumatic events, disease processes, and daily stressors. Traumatic events include physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, childhood maltreatment/neglect, violence, and criminal victimization (e.g., [ 78 , 79 , 84 , 97 , 98 , 100 , 107 – 111 ]). Disease processes under investigation encompass addiction, mental health problems, HCV/HIV progression, and cancer diagnosis (e.g., [ 112 – 117 ]).…”

“…Numerous studies on substance use utilize the term ‘resiliency’, often interchangeably with ‘resilience’ (e.g., [ 76 , 82 , 100 – 102 , 109 , 111 , 112 , 119 , 121 , 124 , 129 , 130 , 141 – 143 , 146 – 155 ]. This inconsistent use of terminology occurs in spite of multiple warnings from long-time resilience researchers, that choosing ‘resiliency’ terminology suggests an intrinsic quality of the person rather than the achievement of positive outcomes based on various levels and interactions of protective factors and resources [ 23 , 24 , 132 ].…”

Research in the area of illicit substance use remains preoccupied with describing and analyzing the risks of people who use drugs (PWUD), however more recently there has been a drive to use a strengths-based or resilience approach as an alternative to investigating drug use. This leads us to ask: what can be known about PWUD from the point of view of resilience? The objective of this scoping review is to analyze how the concept of resilience is defined, operationalized, and applied in substance use research. Popular health, social science, psychology, and inter-disciplinary databases namely: SCOPUS, PUBMED, PsycINFO, and Sociological Abstracts were searched. Studies were selected if they used the concept of resilience and if substance use was a key variable under investigation. A total of 77 studies were identified which provided a definition of resilience, or attempted to operationalize (e.g., via scales) the concept of resilience in some manner. Data were charted and sorted using key terms and fundamental aspects of resilience. The majority of studies focus on youth and their resistance to, or engagement in, substance use. There is also a small but growing area of research that examines recovery from substance addiction as a form of resilience. Very few studies were found that thoroughly investigated resilience among PWUD. Consistently throughout the literature drug use is presented as a ‘risk factor’ jeopardizing one’s ability to be resilient, or drug use is seen as a ‘maladaptive coping strategy’, purporting one’s lack of resilience. Currently, substance use research provides a substantial amount of information about the internal strengths that can assist in resisting future drug use; however there is less information about the external resources that play a role, especially for adults. Though popular, outcome-based conceptualizations of resilience are often static, concealing the potential for developing resilience over time or as conditions change. Studies of resilience among PWUD predominantly concentrate on health-related behaviours, recovery-related factors or predefined harm reduction strategies. Indeed, overall, current conceptualizations of resilience are too narrow to recognize all the potential manifestations of resilience practices in the daily lives of individuals who actively use drugs.

“…Researchers began to realize that, while individuals with a history of trauma are at an increased risk for negative life outcomes and poor adjustment to adulthood, the majority of individuals with histories of childhood trauma adapt quite successfully to adulthood and live happy and productive lives. This ability to succeed in life despite childhood trauma has become known as resiliency, and research on resiliency has become its own sub-field of trauma research (Tlapek, 2017). Of particular influence has been the work of Ann Masten.…”

The Social and Emotional Resources Inventory: Further Development of a Comprehensive Self-Report Measure of Protective Factors

Historically, childhood trauma has been associated with a variety of negative life outcomes including poor emotional adjustment in adulthood, low educational and professional attainment, and all manner of psychopathology. However, more recent research has noted that the majority of individuals with histories of childhood trauma adapt quite successfully to adulthood and live happy and productive lives. Researchers now recognize that the presence of certain protective environmental and personal factors can improve how children cope with obstacles presented by histories of trauma. By identifying these factors, researchers can help clinicians, social justice advocates and others take a pro-active approach, as opposed to a reactive approach, to reducing the negative effects of childhood trauma. There currently exists no highly comprehensive measure of protective factors. This study aimed to finalize the Social Emotional Resources Inventory (SERI)-a comprehensive measure of protective factors-by revising the SERI where necessary and providing previously lacking estimates of convergent and discriminant evidence. The final SERI was considered to be a good fit for the data. The final SERI consists of 55 items, grouped into 14 factors, which may be hierarchically grouped into second and third-order factors if necessary. The results of this SERI administration demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability and convergent/discriminant evidence across most sub-scales.

“…The term 'agency' is linked as well with resilience. Some authors define resilience as: 'psychological attributes of an individual which may protect against negative consequences' (Gerke et al, 2016). It is also conceived as the maintenance of healthy/ successful functioning or adaptation within the context of a significant adversity or threat and is better characterized as a dynamic process, since individuals can be resilient to specific environmental hazards or resilient at one time but not another (Tsirigotis & Łuczak, 2018).…”
