Adolescent resilience: an evolutionary concept analysis

Nancy R Ahern. J Pediatr Nurs. 2006 Jun.

Abstract

Resilience is a concept that has enormous utility in nursing, although there is a need for concept clarity as it relates to adolescence. The purpose of this article is to describe the concept and apply the Evolutionary Model of Concept Analysis to resilience in adolescents. A literature search and an analysis of 22 articles specific to the adolescent population were completed. The literature review revealed adolescent resilience to be a composite of attributes that include the characteristics of the adolescent, sources of social support, and available resources. Implications for nursing and a proposed model of adolescent resilience are presented.
