Abstract

Purpose
This study aimed to clarify the concept of resilience and identify its characteristics in people with acquired physical disabilities.
Methods
The researchers conducted a concept analysis using the eight-step method proposed by Walker and Avant and searched databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, RISS, and KISS using relevant keywords. Ultimately, nine articles were selected for this study.
Results
The defining attributes of resilience include optimism, acceptance of disability, and social connectedness. These attributes are influenced by the antecedent adverse life events. Furthermore, resilience significantly impacts positive adaptation.
Conclusion
The identified attributes of resilience can be applied to develop measurement tools for assessing resilience in people with acquired physical disabilities. Additionally, these findings can inform the development of nursing intervention programs to increase resilience in patients and their families.
