Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resilience is protective against compassion fatigue and burnout. Resilience refers to "patterns of positive adaptation during or following significant adversity or risk" (Masten, Cutuli, Herbers, & Reed, 2009, p. 118). Resilience is not an intrinsic enduring trait of an individual, but rather a dynamic, adaptive process throughout the life span that can be learned. Factors that contribute to resilience can be internal and/or external. Internal factors include personality traits such as optimism, beliefs such as self-efficacy, and skills such as adaptive coping. External factors refer to environmental resources (material and energy), and the access to and stability of those resources over time (Chmitorz et al., 2018). Social factors also contribute to resilience and include feelings of connectedness to the people around us. For health-care workers, mutual trust and connectedness to colleagues has a significant impact on resilience and protects against burnout (McKenna, Hashimoto, Maguire, & Bynum, 2016).
