Life is fraught with challenges to be overcome and obstacles to experience, and from the start we must learn how to bounce back from those challenges and obstacles. In Anna Harrington’s article, “Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way”, she defines resilience in a number of facets and argues that resilience is key to conquering life successfully.

It signifies a combination of abilities and characteristics that interact dynamically to allow an individual to bounce back, cope positively, and function above the norm in spite of significant stress. Although researchers agree on multiple domains to the concept of resilience, it can be viewed as a qualitative categorical construct. Qualities of resilience, such as social competence, problem-solving ability, resistance to failure, and sense of purpose in nursing students are helpful when nurses deal with people facing vulnerability (Benard, 2011). Social competence includes response to positive feedback, empathy, ability to move between different cultures, flexibility, clear communication and sense of humour. Problem-solving ability includes planning skills, resourcefulness, and willingness to seek help, creativity and critical consciousness. Resistance to failure includes refusal to accept negative messages about oneself, detachment, and persistence. Purpose of a resilience nurse includes having an ability to establish goals, culture of spiritual, positive approach and be achievement oriented (Benard, 2011). Resilient students have capacity and empowerment for more positive response. Nurses may contribute their attributes of social competence, problem-solving ability and persistence in achieving the goal of caring in the mental health unit. Nurses also have the inner resource to overcome the adversity and have more verbal skills, self-confidence, and sense of humour. Nurses fulfil what is required to maintain relationships and are confident of succeeding now and in the future, persevering toward goals, and hope to succeed and sustaining and bouncing back and resiliency to attain…

I dealt with suicide, gang issues, and riots by the inmates. While dealing with these issues I had to bounce back quickly to keep the chaos down and finish the shift. Resilience has been defined as an attitude that enables the individual to examine, enhance and utilize the strengths, characteristics and other resources available to him or her. (Harrington, 2012). This is what allowed me to continue and grow as a young police officer. Law enforcement or correctional facilities in rural Tennessee did not have Peer Groups, counseling, or debriefs after a critical incident during that time. The only “debrief” we received was cleaning up the mess and hanging out after…

Some of the question asked in this quiz made me assess my own culture, such as gender and sexual orientation. A crucial part of being resilient is realizing what protective factors are present in one’s life. Many of the factors surprised me because I did not even know they were considered protective factors. Identifying the resiliency builders I would like to add to my repertoire was easy because a majority of those builders are not present in my everyday, and I would like to change that. However, I know it is going to be difficult to add these into my life. The resiliency framework is used in all aspect of social work.
