When you are having transitions in your life you must have resilience and also coping strategies. For example it is different becoming a mother when your child is in NICU or you are in a regular ward or at home.
You always have to help people to cope, help realize there is a transition. We have to be aware as nurses that the person is having a transition and help them deal with it.
●How can we get knowledge of - a person’s resilience or in a family ?
We have to take time to talk with them, also we have to talk with people separately (not whole family together). We shouldn't take relatives and family for granted - everybody don't have them? We as nurses can be the closest people as well. But if the closest person is the neighbour, is it ethical to ask them about our patient? Loneliness is a big problem within older people - can anybody even notice that they are missing or there is something wrong with them. (There is a case where relatives didn't realise the person was dead for 1,5 years.)
●In what way can you use the concept / the phenomenon in nursing ?
Services for the community - elderly get-togethers and aerobics classes, baking, singing, playing cards..
Voluntary work inside our curriculum and after.
We can go and motivate people to join our activities. We as nursing students and nurses can do more than just voluntary work. (In Sweden it is not so developed.)
●Is it possible to screen young peoples recilience ?
It can be more challenging.
