“…For example, the physical and psychological demands of caring pose a risk to informal caregivers. Thus, resilience in caregivers is successful adaptation to a care situation while maintaining health and fulfilling the caregiving role (Giesbrecht et al, 2015;Lin et al, 2013;Nabors et al, 2013;Ruiz-Robledillo et al, 2014). This successful adaptation is not only influenced by individual factors and intrinsic resources (Shuter et al, 2014), but also by family and socioenvironmental factors (Giesbrecht et al, 2015;Lin et al, 2013;Luthar et al, 2000).…”

“…Studies focused only on individual factors inadequately describe the concept of resilience because "environmental conditions help shape resilience by mitigating the negative effects of adversity" (Amzel et al, 2013). Resilience in caregiving is influenced by socioenvironmental factors such as access to social networks, education/knowledge/awareness, employment status, geographic location of residence, housing status and life-course stage (Giesbrecht et al, 2015;Ruiz-Robledillo et al, 2014). Additionally, the individual, family, and socio-environmental factors that contribute to resilience are cultural dependent (Hernandez, Barrio, & Yamada, 2013).…”

“…Similarly, resilience was considered as an influencing factor related to outcomes in four qualitative studies. Studies examining the effect of a reduction of negative health outcomes in resilience included the following dependent variables: parental distress (Lamis, Wilson, Tarantino, Lansford, & Kaslow, 2014); burden (Chappell & Dujela, 2008;Hernandez et al, 2013;Simpson & Jones, 2013;Yeh & Bull, 2012); depression (Fraser & Pakenham, 2009;O'Rourke et al, 2010); emotional/behavioral difficulties (Fraser & Pakenham, 2009); being overweight (Lim et al, 2011); perceived stress (Cassidy, 2013;Chappell & Dujela, 2008;Ruiz-Robledillo et al, 2014); institutionalization for dementia care (Gaugler et al, 2007); caregiver anxiety (Nabors et al, 2013); and suicidal thoughts (O'Dwyer, Moyle, & van Wyk, 2013). Studies that examined the effect of enhancing positive outcomes on resilience framed independent variables as benefit finding (Cassidy, 2013;Cassidy et al, 2014); life satisfaction (Cassidy et al, 2014;Chappell & Dujela, 2008;Fraser & Pakenham, 2009); positive mental health (Cassidy et al, 2014); positive affect (Simpson & Jones, 2013); and adolescent adjustment (Shin et al, 2010).…”

“…Resilience (viewed as a way of coping with and adapting to stress) was positively correlated with high levels of social interaction and social support (Ruiz-Robledillo et al, 2014). Resilience defined in terms of ability to see beyond an immediate stressful experience, and in that context high levels of hopefulness relate to this ability (Hernandez et al, 2013).…”

“…The most consistent association reported across studies was that of social support and resilience. Cause and effect is less clear; for example, one study pointed out social support may mediate an association between resilience and health (self-reported or biologic markers) (Ruiz-Robledillo et al, 2014) in that greater resilience enables a person to effectively seek social support (Lamis et al, 2014).…”

To examine the state of the science surrounding the concept of resilience as used in the context of informal caregiving. This study was designed as a scoping study consisting of a five stage process to investigate the extent, range and nature of research activity related to resilience and informal caregiving. Data consisted of peer-reviewed articles in the scientific literature. One database (PubMed) was determined to be most relevant to this study. Search terms included "family caregiver and resilience" or "informal caregiver and resilience."

Resilience or the capacity to “bend but not break” refers to the ability to maintain or regain psychobiological equilibrium during or after exposure to stressful life events. Specifically, resilience has been proposed as a potential resource for staving off pathological states that often emerge after exposure to repeated stress and that are related to alterations in circulating cortisol.The aim of this systematic review of the literature was to gather evidence related to the relationship between psychological resilience and cortisol levels in adult humans.An extensive systematic search was carried out following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) method in the PubMed and Web of Science databases. In total, 1256 articles were identified and, of these, 35 peer‐reviewed articles were included in the systematic review.We categorized findings according to (1) the short and long‐term secretion period covered by the cortisol matrices selected by studies and also according to (2) the differentiated diurnal, phasic (acute), and tonic (basal) components of the HPA output to which they refer and their relationships with resilience. Reported relationships between psychological resilience and distinct cortisol output parameters varied widely across studies, finding positive, negative, and null associations between the two variables. Notably, several of the studies that found no relationship between resilience and cortisol used a single morning saliva or plasma sample as their assessment of HPA axis activity.Despite limitations such as the great variability of the instruments and methods used by the studies to measure both resilience and cortisol, together with their high heterogeneity and small sample sizes, the evidence found in this systematic review points to the potential of resilience as a modifiable key factor to modulate the physiological response to stress. Therefore, further exploration of the interaction between the two variables is necessary for the eventual development of future interventions aimed at promoting resilience as an essential component of health prevention.

Resilience, and positive parenting in parents of children with syndromic autism and intellectual disability. Evidence from the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on family's quality of life and parent–child relationships

et al. 2022

Family quality of life (FQoL) outcomes collected during the first year of COVID-19 has been combined with 2018 data to estimate the outbreak's impact on parental outcomes on a sample of 230 families with syndromic autistic children and those with intellectual disabilities (IDs). Despite challenges imposed by the COVID-19 outbreak, our study found that FQoL outcomes reported by participating parents during the first year of COVID-19 appears to be similar to ratings from a prepandemic study of families with the same conditions. Parents of children in our sample generally displayed a stable functioning trajectory as measured by the validated FQoL instrument. Across syndromic autistic groups considered, families reported that their relationships with their children were positive. Our findings provide evidence of families' resilience which might explain the presence of positive parentchild interactions during COVID-19. Exploring mechanisms which would explain how families with autistic and ID children confront, manage disruptive experiences, and buffer COVID-19 induced stress is a fruitful direction for future research.
