Abstract

The notion of resilience in health emerged at the beginning of 1980s and was later developed with the integration of psychoanalytical, developmental and behavioral theories.
Purpose: The present study aimed at identifying articles by nurses focused on the resilience notion and describing its adoption in nursing scientific literature.
Methods: A search in databases with the descriptors "Resilience and Nursing" was performed in January 2012. Thirteen papers were selected.
Results: Seven papers investigated resilience in general terms, 4 related resilience with other concepts and 2 evaluated resilience in the cycle of life. The notion of a dynamic process is a fact and neuroplasticity concept is also analyzed. Several implications for clinical practice and research are reported. Nurses will study the concept of resilience based on several theories and will try to clarify it, and to find consensual items and contribute to its development.
