“…Together with more traditional activities, it could be inserted within programmes aiming at empowering communities' resilience, also in the case in which young people are involved actively to foster it (e.g. McCarty et al, 2022). Taking into account the variety of psychological processes on which it is based (Raccanello et al, 2023c), it could also be adapted for a range of other disasters, as a valid way to conduct prevention and preparedness actions to be included within evidence‐based guidelines promoted by local, national, and international organizations deputed to foster youth's mental health.…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic has had many traumatic consequences for the physical and psychological functioning of children and adolescents. Internet‐based interventions can reach a large audience and be a potentially powerful resource for promoting well‐being among young people. We tested the efficacy of the web application PandHEMOT®, developed ad hoc for increasing knowledge about pandemics, emotions, and emotion regulation. We involved a sample of 147 Italian third and seventh graders. The sample was assigned to an experimental (participating in the training) and a waitlist condition (who participated following a waitlist design). All the participants completed pretest and posttest measures. The intervention was structured into three units. The training took place between November and December 2021. Generalized linear mixed models and linear mixed models revealed that knowledge about pandemics, emotions, emotion regulation, and metacognitive awareness increased for the experimental condition. Moreover, adolescents performed better than children. The findings supported the efficacy of an Internet‐based training for increasing children and adolescents' resilience, according to the standards of evidence‐based research.

“…A total of 31 items in the RSUS were rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 5 ("strongly agree"). There were six dimensions in the RSUS, which were as follows: self-efficacy (SE; item 1-5), self-acceptance (SA; item 6-8), emotional stability (ES; item 9-15), problemsolving (PS; item [16][17][18], support from friends (SFRI; item [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and support from family (SFAM; item [27][28][29][30][31]. The scale SE evaluated the degree to which individuals affirmed their self-competence, and the items were listed such as "I am confident in my abilities" and "if I try, I can do things as well or better than anyone else".…”

“…A recent study in a Chinese sample performed an experiment of mindfulness training on 90 students as well, exploring the developmental trajectories of the impact of mindfulness training on resilience, with the finding of increased individual resilience and emotional intelligence [22]. The 6-year (2012-2017) Youth-Led Resilience Promotion program that was originally conducted to equip youth leaders with resilience and prosocial behaviors in the aftermath of a school shooting could also be adopted to traumatic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, to boost psychological recovery [23]. Although various means of intervention have been conducted, only limited efforts have been carried out to clarify the influence of arts therapy on the resilience of university students in COVID-19 related stress.…”

As an alternative to traditional verbal counselling, expressive arts therapy has been shown to be an effective method of mental health care, particularly when dealing with stressful public interactions, such as those associated with COVID-19. However, few studies have been conducted to determine the efficacy of expressive arts therapy on the resilience of psychologically exposed university students during COVID-19. Furthermore, since network analysis appears to be a popular approach in psychological research, it has not been used in recent intervention studies for resilience. As a result, the current study utilized a network analysis approach to determine the efficacy of expressive arts therapy on the resilience of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 263 students in a comprehensive university in China were selected for the therapy group between March and November 2021. In a pre-post design, students’ resilience was assessed using the Resiliency Scale for University Students (RSUS). The extended Bayesian information criteria (EBIC) and graphical LASSO were used to estimate and define paired resilience networks, and the strength, betweenness, and closeness indices were utilized to determine the centrality of the six facets of resilience. Additionally, we verified the stability and accuracy. It was discovered that significant differences appeared between the paired networks before and after expressive arts therapy. Facets of self-efficacy, self-acceptance and problem-solving in resilience were notably improved after the therapy, with the variable of emotional stability sustained at the mean level. Meanwhile, the network analysis has highlighted the central variable of self-efficacy in the pre-intervention and support from friends in the post-intervention. The connectivity among the components of problem solving, support from friends, and support from family was enhanced, with support from friends playing the role of hub nod in the following network. By utilizing a network analytic approach, expressive arts therapy can be more targeted in intervening in resilience mechanisms. As a proxy for efficacious problem-solving, intervention should be calibrated to the cultivation of social support networks, especially in the support from friends.

“…It encompasses the capacity to bounce back from difficult experiences, maintain mental well-being, and sustain optimal performance under challenging circumstances. Resilience is particularly important for health professionals, as it enables them to cope with the demands of their roles, maintain a sense of purpose, and continue providing highquality care to patients (Lade et al, 2020;McCarty et al, 2022).…”

This study aims to explore and identify effective psychological approaches and interventions that can foster resilience and prevent burnout among health professionals. It seeks to understand how individual and organizational strategies can be integrated to support healthcare workers' mental well-being. The article employs a narrative review methodology, synthesizing existing research findings on resilience-building and burnout prevention strategies within healthcare settings. It examines both individual-level interventions, such as emotional intelligence training and stress management techniques, and organizational-level initiatives, including work environment improvements and policy changes. The review highlights that a combination of individual and organizational interventions is crucial for building resilience among health professionals. Key findings suggest that strategies focusing on enhancing emotional intelligence, promoting work-life balance, and creating a supportive work environment are effective in mitigating burnout. Furthermore, the importance of adaptive coping mechanisms and social support systems is emphasized. Building resilience in healthcare professionals is a multifaceted endeavor that requires both individual efforts and organizational support. The article concludes that implementing comprehensive, evidence-based interventions can significantly prevent burnout, ultimately leading to better healthcare outcomes and improved patient care. Future research should aim to address gaps in the current literature, particularly in assessing the long-term effectiveness of these interventions across diverse healthcare contexts.
