Abstract
The aim of this article is to define the concept of resilience in the context of chronic pain, while presenting a historical background of resilience. Resilience in young women with chronic pain is discussed where findings exist. Chronic pain places a considerable burden on individual and societal health; resilience is critical to chronic pain management. Enhancing understanding of the concept of resilience can promote resilience and aid in early recognition of impaired coping. Rodgers's evolutionary method of concept analysis was used. Using CINAHL, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases, articles published from 1979 to 2020 were analyzed to identify conceptual components of resilience. We reviewed included articles to determine surrogate terms, relevant uses of the concept, attributes, references of the concept, antecedents, consequences, and related concepts. Resilience in the context of chronic pain is a lifelong process of positive adaption and thriving despite adversity. Components of Rodgers's evolutionary method are identified for the concept. Further research on resilience in young women with chronic pain is needed, given the current lack of literature. Developing nursing interventions to foster resilience is important to promote long-term, effective self-management of individuals living with chronic pain.
