Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduit par le Dr Boris Cyrulnik, cet ouvrage collectif présente le fruit des travaux de chercheurs internationaux qui ont étudié chez des enfants, adolescents et adultes ayant vécu des situations critiques stressantes, leurs processus de résilience, d’autorégulation, de régulation émotionnelle ; ou encore leur qualité de vie. Quelle que soit la période de vie, les situations critiques abordées sont variées : le vécu d’un handicap ou d’un trouble de développement, l’atteinte d’une maladie chronique, le deuil, la maltraitance, les crises de couples ou de familles, la gestion de sa scolarité ou de ses apprentissages, l’adoption, etc. Divers paradigmes conceptuels ouvrent des portes d’interprétation de ces processus, ainsi qu’ils apportent une lecture dynamique des facteurs de risque et de protection en fonction des personnes et de leur environnement. À travers ces travaux, se dégagent des pistes méthodologiques pour l’observation et l’évaluation de la résilience, de la régulation émotionnelle, de l’autorégulation et de la qualité de vie auprès de personnes typiques et atypiques. Plusieurs contributions offrent également des cadres de références de programmes d’intervention ou de psychothérapie, favorables à la résilience et aux autres processus examinés.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Impact of Resilience, Spirituality, and Self-Regulation on the Quality of Life of Adults with Opioid Use Disorder in the Gulf State of Oman Abstract By HAMED MUBARAK AL BATTASHI Substance use is currently recognized as a chronic brain disease and a significant public health concern. In Oman, the percentage of individuals seeking substance use treatment in 2017 increased by 44% when compared to 2016. A total of 64% of the individuals who reported substance use problems are below 35 years old. Easy access to alcohol and other substances, family histories of substance use, and traumatic experiences during childhood were some of the primary risk factors reported by individuals in Oman who are substance users. Individual and family self-management theory and the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of addiction were used as theoretical frameworks to guide the development and implementation of the study. The study addressed the following aims: (1) explore the variability and extent of resilience, spirituality, self-regulation, and quality of life (QOL), (2) investigate the impact of resilience and spirituality on self-regulation, (3) examine the impact of self-regulation on QOL, and (4) assess how does self-regulation mediates how resilience and spirituality predict QOL. This descriptive, cross-sectional study utilized a convenience sampling technique to recruit 109 adult participants diagnosed with opioid use disorder or polysubstance use including opioids. The study was implemented in two treatment centers in Oman. Data xiii were collected using the Resilience Research Center-Adult Resilience Measure (PRCARM), Spiritual Involvement and Beliefs Scale (SIBS), Cognitive-Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) Scale (WHOQOL-BREF). The SPSS 25 statistical package was used to analyze descriptive data and conduct various multiple linear regressions. The levels of resilience (M=58.77; SD=9.928), cognitive regulation (M=122.59; SD=17.991), emotion regulation (M=88.56; SD=13.300), and QOL domains (Overall QOL M=2.95; SD=1.100) (Overall health M=3.09; SD=1.085) (Physical M=41.90; SD=18.559) (Psychological M=39.12; SD=18.572) (Social M=37.43; SD=22.190) (Environment M=46.75; SD=16.067) were significantly low among this population. High levels of spirituality were reported (M=99.80; SD=12.051). Age, duration of substance use, substance severity, and mental illness comorbidity were significantly correlated with the QOL of this sample. The tested regression models reported different significant effects. This study's findings filled gabs in current substance use literature and provided insights for practice and future research.

Download or read book Resilient Health Care written by Erik Hollnagel and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care is everywhere under tremendous pressure with regard to efficiency, safety, and economic viability - to say nothing of having to meet various political agendas - and has responded by eagerly adopting techniques that have been useful in other industries, such as quality management, lean production, and high reliability. This has on the whole been met with limited success because health care as a non-trivial and multifaceted system differs significantly from most traditional industries. In order to allow health care systems to perform as expected and required, it is necessary to have concepts and methods that are able to cope with this complexity. Resilience engineering provides that capacity because its focus is on a system’s overall ability to sustain required operations under both expected and unexpected conditions rather than on individual features or qualities. Resilience engineering’s unique approach emphasises the usefulness of performance variability, and that successes and failures have the same aetiology. This book contains contributions from acknowledged international experts in health care, organisational studies and patient safety, as well as resilience engineering. Whereas current safety approaches primarily aim to reduce or eliminate the number of things that go wrong, Resilient Health Care aims to increase and improve the number of things that go right. Just as the WHO argues that health is more than the absence of illness, so does Resilient Health Care argue that safety is more than the absence of risk and accidents. This can be achieved by making use of the concrete experiences of resilience engineering, both conceptually (ways of thinking) and practically (ways of acting).

Download or read book Resilience and Mental Health written by Steven M. Southwick and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-18 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans are remarkably resilient in the face of crises, traumas, disabilities, attachment losses and ongoing adversities. To date, most research in the field of traumatic stress has focused on neurobiological, psychological and social factors associated with trauma-related psychopathology and deficits in psychosocial functioning. Far less is known about resilience to stress and healthy adaptation to stress and trauma. This book brings together experts from a broad array of scientific fields whose research has focused on adaptive responses to stress. Each of the five sections in the book examines the relevant concepts, spanning from factors that contribute to and promote resilience, to populations and societal systems in which resilience is employed, to specific applications and contexts of resilience and interventions designed to better enhance resilience. This will be suitable for clinicians and researchers who are interested in resilience across the lifespan and in response to a wide variety of stressors.
Download or read book Resilience in Aging written by Barbara Resnick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The many significant technological and medical advances of the 21st century cannot overcome the escalating risk posed to older adults by such stressors as pain, weakness, fatigue, depression, anxiety, memory and other cognitive deficits, hearing loss, visual impairment, isolation, marginalization, and physical and mental illness. In order to overcome these and other challenges, and to maintain as high a quality of life as possible, older adults and the professionals who treat them need to promote and develop the capacity for resilience, which is innate in all of us to some degree. The purpose of this book is to provide the current scientific theory, clinical guidelines, and real-world interventions with regard to resilience as a clinical tool. To that end, the book addresses such issues as concepts and operationalization of resilience; relevance of resilience to successful aging; impact of personality and genetics on resilience; relationship between resilience and motivation; relationship between resilience and survival; promoting resilience in long-term care; and the lifespan approach to resilience. By addressing ways in which the hypothetical and theoretical concepts of resilience can be applied in geriatric practice, Resilience in Aging provides inroads to the current knowledge and practice of resilience from the perspectives of physiology, psychology, culture, creativity, and economics. In addition, the book considers the impact of resilience on critical aspects of life for older adults such as policy issues (e.g., nursing home policies, Medicare guidelines), health and wellness, motivation, spirituality, and survival. Following these discussions, the book focuses on interventions that increase resilience. The intervention chapters include case studies and are intended to be useful at the clinical level. The book concludes with a discussion of future directions in optimizing resilience in the elderly and the importance of a lifespan approach to aging.
Download or read book Disaster Resilience written by National Academies and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-12-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No person or place is immune from disasters or disaster-related losses. Infectious disease outbreaks, acts of terrorism, social unrest, or financial disasters in addition to natural hazards can all lead to large-scale consequences for the nation and its communities. Communities and the nation thus face difficult fiscal, social, cultural, and environmental choices about the best ways to ensure basic security and quality of life against hazards, deliberate attacks, and disasters. Beyond the unquantifiable costs of injury and loss of life from disasters, statistics for 2011 alone indicate economic damages from natural disasters in the United States exceeded $55 billion, with 14 events costing more than a billion dollars in damages each. One way to reduce the impacts of disasters on the nation and its communities is to invest in enhancing resilience-the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from and more successfully adapt to adverse events. Disaster Resilience: A National Imperative addresses the broad issue of increasing the nation's resilience to disasters. This book defines "national resilience", describes the state of knowledge about resilience to hazards and disasters, and frames the main issues related to increasing resilience in the United States. It also provide goals, baseline conditions, or performance metrics for national resilience and outlines additional information, data, gaps, and/or obstacles that need to be addressed to increase the nation's resilience to disasters. Additionally, the book's authoring committee makes recommendations about the necessary approaches to elevate national resilience to disasters in the United States. Enhanced resilience allows better anticipation of disasters and better planning to reduce disaster losses-rather than waiting for an event to occur and paying for it afterward. Disaster Resilience confronts the topic of how to increase the nation's resilience to disasters through a vision of the characteristics of a resilient nation in the year 2030. Increasing disaster resilience is an imperative that requires the collective will of the nation and its communities. Although disasters will continue to occur, actions that move the nation from reactive approaches to disasters to a proactive stance where communities actively engage in enhancing resilience will reduce many of the broad societal and economic burdens that disasters can cause.

Download or read book Hardiness written by Salvatore R. Maddi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are turbulent times in which it becomes increasingly important to survive and thrive despite stressful circumstances. Hardiness is the pattern of attitudes and skills that provides the courage and strategies that helps people be resilient by turning potential disasters into growth opportunities and fulfillment, thereby enhancing their performance, sense of fulfillment, and health. Hardiness as the pathway to resilience under stress has become of considerable interest, it is beginning to have an influence on the emerging emphasis of positive psychology by expanding this approach beyond mere happiness, to the courage and strategies needed to make the most of difficult times. The book starts with the special value of hardiness in being resilient by not only surviving, but also thriving under stress, and thereby achieving fulfillment in living. The book then elaborates on the pattern of attitudes and skills of hardiness that form the pathway to this needed resiliency. It discusses the 30 years of validational research and practice that is available concerning hardiness. The book offers various applications of hardiness assessment and training that can contribute to a better life. These include, among others, how hardiness can be trained in school and emphasized in psychotherapy, how hardiness facilitates the intimacy and longevity of relationships, and what organizations need in order to perform successfully in these turbulent times. The book is of interest to academics, industrial and organizational psychologists, clinical psychologists, mental health professionals, and professionals in public health, social work, sociology and human resources.

Download or read book Resilience for All written by Barbara Brown Wilson and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, people of color are disproportionally more likely to live in environments with poor air quality, in close proximity to toxic waste, and in locations more vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather events. In many vulnerable neighborhoods, structural racism and classism prevent residents from having a seat at the table when decisions are made about their community. In an effort to overcome power imbalances and ensure local knowledge informs decision-making, a new approach to community engagement is essential. In Resilience for All, Barbara Brown Wilson looks at less conventional, but often more effective methods to make communities more resilient. She takes an in-depth look at what equitable, positive change through community-driven design looks like in four communities—East Biloxi, Mississippi; the Lower East Side of Manhattan; the Denby neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan; and the Cully neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. These vulnerable communities have prevailed in spite of serious urban stressors such as climate change, gentrification, and disinvestment. Wilson looks at how the lessons in the case studies and other examples might more broadly inform future practice. She shows how community-driven design projects in underserved neighborhoods can not only change the built world, but also provide opportunities for residents to build their own capacities.
