Developing Resilience

Resilience can be defined as sustaining well-being in the face of adversity by harnessing internal and/or external resources. Many of the strategies that promote highly effective teams, such as regulating emotions, self-reflection, and inclusion, may also contribute to team resilience. Nurse leaders can facilitate social connections, optimism, self-care, mindfulness practices, and meaningful recognition as strategies to promote nurse resilience. Resilience may mitigate many of the harmful effects for nurses working in the high demanding health care work environment.
