Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this descriptive phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience and meaning of resilience of individuals in the setting of chronic illness who reside in low-resource communities of the Mississippi Delta, USA. Descriptive phenomenology and Polk’s resilience theory were utilized that focused on the individual’s lifeworld and the meaning of resilience. The descriptive phenomenological psychological by reduction method (DPPRM) was used for the analysis and further linked to specific aspects of resilience and Polk’s resilience theory operationalized patterns. Findings revealed six themes of the lived experience of the participants that make up the eidetic structure and are linked to multidimensional aspects of resilience to create meaning. Fostering increased resilient pattern development has the potential to improve health outcomes, well-being, and quality of life across the spectrum
