Resilience in Chronic Illness<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Resilience in chronic illness is known to result in better health outcomes than usually expected and allow positive adaptation despite the experience of stress. It also enables good recovery from any trauma. Perhaps most importantly, resilience increases the ability to learn, grow and develop as a consequence of adversity allowing one to be transformed by going through such an experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put simply, resilience is the capacity to retain structure, processes and function in the face of disturbances to the system. It is the ability to respond positively to adversity even when this adversity puts health, well-being and development at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resilience in chronic illness is known to reduce the severity of symptoms and lessen the degree of uncertainty associated with long term stress, as well as modify the quality of life and the progression and mortality associated with illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several protective factors associated with resilience such as optimism, positive mood, self esteem, self care, independence, social support, reduced anxiety and spiritual inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These factors have wide ranging effects on several systems that regulate health and functioning such as the neuroendocrine, musculoskeletal, immune and affective systems. Research has shown that people scoring high on resilience scales have much less anxiety and depression, indicating that resilience confers protection against psychiatric illness, which are very common with chronic disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building resilience translates to the adoption of health promotional behavior such as adequate nutrition, stress reduction, self realization and adequate physical mobilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved resilience has been shown to reduce incapacitation due to chronic disease as well as positively influence many life domains such as financial stability, social support, occupational competence, family dynamics and emotional self regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Resiliency Initiative aims to provide information, paradigms and interventions that might enable adaptive recovery and enhance resilience in chronic illness and in this way help to reduce the impact of the stress that people with chronic illness face on a daily basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
