The Resilience Scale: A clinical tool for nurses
Resilience is the ability to adapt and remain healthy in the face of adversity and can be strengthened or weakened over time in response to our experiences. The Resilience Scale tool developed by the Palix Foundation (Alberta Family Wellness Initiative) helps to illustrate how three factors interact to determine resilience: adversities, positive supports, and acquired skills and abilities.
Learning Objectives
After this training, participants will be able to use the Resilience Scale:
- To explain the factors that strengthen and weaken resilience to their colleagues and patients/clients.
- As a clinical tool to visualize their patients' current resilience and programs and services they can access to strengthen their resilience.
- As a system to monitor changes in the capacity for resilience over time.
- As a self-assessment tool to assess their own capacity for resilience.
