“…Family resilience research has been conducted in various settings, beginning with families raising children (Patterson, 1991), and gradually expanding to families under stressful conditions, including those caring for patients with chronic diseases (West et al, 2011). Many studies used a qualitative design owing to the complexity of family systems and a lack of measurement tools (Coyle, 2016). Existing theoretical models of family systems, including Walsh's Family Resilience Framework (Walsh, 2003), provide healthcare providers with a comprehensive snapshot of the family functioning process under different conditions.…”

“…Moreover, family resilience has been defined as a dynamic process rather than a family trait or outcome (Coyle, 2016). Most studies, however, explored family resilience at a single point in time or assuming that the resilience of different families followed the same pattern over time.…”

“…Despite well‐documented challenges, most families of stroke patients ‘do well’. Family resilience, defined as ‘the process by which family members withstand and rebound from adversity’ (Walsh, 1996), refers to a family's ability to cope with life transitions or multiple stressors (Coyle, 2016). Family resilience is frequently recognised as a powerful determinant of family function in chronic disease patients (Suzuki et al, 2018).…”

Background The importance of family resilience in the recovery of stroke patients has been demonstrated in numerous studies. However, little is known about post‐stroke family resilience. Aims To investigate the family resilience of stroke patients from a patient–caregiver dyadic perspective during the first 6 months after stroke. Methods A total of 288 dyads of patients diagnosed with a first‐episode stroke and their principal caregivers were recruited from neurology departments of 7 tertiary hospitals in Shanghai and Shangqiu, China. Family resilience and family function were assessed during hospitalisation and at 1, 3 and 6 months after stroke. K‐means cluster analysis was used to identify different clusters of family resilience based on family resilience of patients and caregivers during hospitalisation. The STROBE guidelines for observational studies were followed. Results Three clusters of family resilience were identified with distinct trajectories: cluster of high resilience (HR), cluster of low resilience (LR) and cluster of discrepant resilience (DR). The level of family function was consistently highest in cluster HR and lowest in cluster with LR at four time points. Most (69.8%) families fell into the cluster with low resilience and low family function. Characteristics such as the Rankin scores and education level of patients, education level of caregivers, family monthly income and living district were different among the three clusters. Conclusions We concluded that family resilience was linked to the family functioning of patients with a first‐episode stroke, however, the levels of resilience in most families were low. Factors, including the education level, family income and stroke severity of patients were revealed to influence the family resilience and its development. Relevance to clinical practice A resilience‐focused approach to family‐related treatment is beneficial for families. Therefore, understanding family resilience among stroke survivors is needed to inform the development of interventions for enhancing the recovery of stroke families.

Accessible SummaryWhat is known on the subject? Family resilience is an important determinant of family caregivers' coping with difficulties of life and stress effectively. Family resilience factors contribute to the family's adaptation to difficulties. From the perspective of the individual living with schizophrenia and family, family resilience focuses not on the losses experienced but on the strengths. What does this paper adds to existing knowledge? Many factors such as routines, positive cognitions, intra‐family communication, family support and love as a healing force that contribute to family resilience were identified from the common perspective of the individual diagnosed with schizophrenia‐family caregiver dyads. The climate of love within the family is an important strength both for the patient diagnosed with schizophrenia and for the family caregivers. Mutual support between family members, their listening to each other and sharing experiences with each other during this disease process are therapeutic for both parties and make them resilient. What are the implications for practice? Family resilience factors should be considered in planning psychosocial interventions to be applied to individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and family caregivers. The clinical use of psychosocial support interventions in family resilience which help both the individual diagnosed with schizophrenia and the family caregivers to gain a positive perspective, to improve their problem‐solving skills, and to support each other within the family should be expanded. Displaying approaches aimed at increasing the climate of love and strengthening correct communication techniques within the family towards both the individual diagnosed with schizophrenia and the family caregiver should be supported. Psychiatric nurses' focusing on family resilience from a systemic perspective in chronic mental illnesses such as schizophrenia strengthens the patient and the family. This perspective focuses on functional dimensions and protects mental health despite existing problems. AbstractIntroductionFamily resilience is one of the important concepts that should be addressed in chronic mental illnesses.AimThis study was aimed at investigating family resilience experiences from the perspective of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia‐family caregiver dyads.MethodThe study was conducted in the Adult Psychiatry inpatient and outpatient unit of a university hospital in a province in western Turkey using the phenomenological method. By using the purposeful sampling method, 20 participants were selected in the study. Of them, 10 were family caregivers and 10 were patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. The results of the study were analysed with a dyadic approach within the framework of key processes of Walsh family resilience model. The directed content analysis method was used to analyse the data obtained from the study. COREQ checklist was used to report the research.ResultsAfter the analysis, the following five main themes emerged: positive cognitions, routines, family support, intra‐family communication and love as a healing force.DiscussionFamily resilience is a structure shaped by the relationship between family members. The factors that contribute to the individual diagnosed with schizophrenia‐caregiver dyads' ability to overcome difficulties in family resilience are discussed in line with the relevant literature.Implications for PracticeIntervention programs should be implemented to create an environment of love by improving relationships and communication in the family, improving problem solving and increasing support resources.

Background Pregnancy period is an important experience in the life process of married women, which leads them to growth and development and is considered as a part of the puberty process. The aim of this research is to determine the mediating role of individual resilience in relation to family resilience, psychological well-being and life satisfaction of the pregnant women. The current study is correlational according to the practical purpose and based on data collection. Methodes The study population of the current research is all pregnant women in 2021, and 361 of them responded to the self-report questionnaires of family resilience, psychological well-being, life satisfaction, and individual resilience. To analysis the model, the path analysis method was used utilization spss-26 and Lisrel 10.2 software. Results The results show a good fit of the model with the data. The results also showed a direct and significant effect between life satisfaction with obligation (β = 0.22 and t = 3.42), with challenge (β = 0.28 and t = 3.98), with control (β = 0.11 and t = 2.13), psychological well-being with obligation (β = 0.20 and t = 3.11), with challenge (β = 0.20 and t = 2.73) and with control (β = 0.45 and t = 10.34). Conclusion The upshot of this research can be considered in interventions related to pregnant women. Strengthening resilience in this group can be useful for increasing life satisfaction and psychological well-being of pregnant women.
