In the case study, the most common form of resilience, emotional resilience is
required. It refers to the individual’s ability to encounter a situation, which is stressful (Li,
Cao, Cao & Liu, 2015). More the resilience in the person, higher is the chance of surviving
the situation well. In a clinical setting, nurses are meant to be emotionally resilient
(McDonald, Jackson, Vickers & Wilkes, 2016). Nurses require resilience to survive in the
hospital because of moral distress and reduce the likeliness of emotional exhaustion and
burnout (McDonald, Jackson, Vickers & Wilkes, 2016). Highly resilient nurses tend to be
socially connected by being compassionate and empathetic towards the patient and the
surrounding environment (Grant & Kinman, 2015). It is observed that when nurses provide
care to the patient, it acts as a therapeutic factor for them, which relieves them of the stress of
the work (Grant & Kinman, 2015). Nurses gather resilience by enrolling themselves in
clinical placements (Lopez, Yobas, Chow & Shorey, 2018). They help the nurse in
understanding the requirements of the profession and prepare themselves for the adversities.
Lopez, Yobas, Chow and Shorey (2018), conducted a qualitative study on nurses to
understand the factors which create resilience in the nursing professionals. It was found that
emotional support from family and the nursing faculty improves resilience (Lopez, Yobas,
Chow & Shorey, 2018).
