“…Within this context, resilience is referred to the ability of patients to cope with incurable illness and the derived problems, that is to say, to cope with the new point of view that gives a limited life expectancy (Radbruch et al, 2009). In this study, resilience has been the variable with the higher predictive value for spirituality, which is in line with Vanistendael’s (2007) approach to resilience: resiliency and spirituality are closely related, sharing both an element of meaning at their basis. Thus, this relation is a central component when addressing the resources and needs of patients in palliative care.…”

In this study, we analyzed the relationships among clinical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of patients with advanced illness. It was a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 108 patients in an advanced illness situation attended by palliative care teams. Statistically significant correlations were found between some dimensions of spirituality and poor symptomatic control, resiliency, and social support. In the structural model, three variables predicted spirituality: having physical symptoms as the main source of discomfort, resiliency, and social support. This work highlights the relevance of the relationships among spirituality and other aspects of the patient at the end of life.

“…Resilience is defined as "the ability of an individual person or a social system to grow and develop in difficult circumstances" [14]. It refers to a person's aptitude to adaptively deal with challenging and problematic situations, acting like a counterpart of the concept of "psychological risk factors" [15].…”

Extremist ideologies are proliferating nowadays in both political and social levels. Considering that youngsters are in a development stage where they are still conforming their own social identity, they become especially vulnerable to these ideologies' influence. Therefore, it becomes critical to provide them with the psychological skills to rationalize and resist those influences. Video games, which are already a technology commonly consumed by these generations, provide a way to motivate and engage youngsters. Therefore, implementing these video games in interventions to increase psychological resilience represents an opportunity to create an innovative learning approach. Following this motivation, this paper has three main objectives: adapting a traditional emotional intelligence training program to a novel serious game based intervention, called YoungRes; providing a metric to measure the student' evolution based on ingame behavioural patterns, instead of indirect measures; and evaluating the impact of the intervention itself after its implementation. To do so, an 11 sessions intervention was applied to 36 students from two primary schools in Spain. Quantitative and qualitative data was extracted from the experience, consisting on data extracted from the player's behaviour and a final survey. A detailed statistical analysis carried out showed two main outcomes: first, the serious game based intervention was very appreciated by the students, specially by those who frequently play video games; second, the intervention allowed to improve several emotional intelligence competences, such as active listening and controlled breathing, as well as to promote knowledge about the Islamic culture. Finally, the authors discussed about how the game could be improved for future applications in schools.

“…Spiritual faith, religious traditions, and socio-normative rituals, whether practiced alone-individually or with others-collectively, have great resiliency benefits on the mind, psyche, mood, behavior, soul, body, attitude, and relational connectivity. They help keep a broader mental perspective, an adequate motivational energy, a transcendent view of reality (beyond the material realm), a closer bond with others and with nature, a calmer nervous system, a more peaceful posture of heart, and a confident ongoing attitude, all enhancing strength, endurance, fortitude, regulation, survival, and wellbeing (Abi-Hashem, 2001, 2011aKira et al, 2020;Koenig, 2008;Paine et al, 2015;Vanistendael, 2007).…”

In recent years, the topics of psychosocial resiliency and cultural competency have been on the forefronts of many academic disciplines and human-care services. This article explores the meaning, nature, and function of resiliency and provides an overview of its foundational role and integrative place in the fields of psychology, pedagogy, physiology, psychotherapy, spirituality, and community. All these explorations and discussions are presented from a sociocultural and interdisciplinary perspective. Most areas of learning and spheres of knowledge could further be advanced if they continue to incorporate cultural resiliency into their basic training approaches and ongoing skillful apprenticeships. This article emphasizes that the essence and manifestation of resiliency is rooted, not only in individual traits or abilities, but also in the capital resources already stored in the larger community - in its cultural wealth and generational wisdom. Resiliency is both an innate capacity, with various dispositions that is dormant within people and groups, and a skill that is gradually learned, intentionally established, and consistently built-up and developed. Then, it will be readily applied as a way-of-life, natural tendency, refined asset, and potential drive or passion for higher-functioning and livelihood, especially in time of adversity, misfortune, and calamity. This article encourages the practice of cross-cultural competence and cross-disciplinary growth. It promotes multi-academic learning and collaboration in order to foster a comprehensive resiliency-training and a dependable approach for survival-coping. Also, this article encourages an enduring social awareness, a continuous emotional empowerment, and a relational respect coupled with cultural humility.
