Abstract
Objective
The introduction of the vicarious resilience concept in psychology and mental health nursing literature is a highly promising advancement. By utilizing this novel concept, experts in various domains can enhance their comprehension of how to foster resilience in individuals by observing and learning from the resilience of others. This concept analysis aims to elucidate the concept of vicarious resilience in mental health nursing by defining its related attributes, antecedents, and consequences.
Methods
Walker and Avant’s strategy for concept analysis method was used. This review specifically examined mental health nurse providers. A comprehensive literature search was performed in the PubMed, Medline, the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases. The inclusion criterion was English-language documents on vicarious resilience within mental health nursing.
Results
A total of 24 articles were included. The concept’s attributes were empathy, hope, resourcefulness, awareness, and spirituality. Antecedents were associated with listening to patients’ trauma narratives, self-care, self-awareness, and support from colleagues. Consequences were enhanced well-being, changes in life goals, adaptation, personal growth, and increased personal resilience. Currently, there is only one tool in the empirical reference.
Conclusion
Interpreting the concept of vicarious resilience in mental health nursing and determining its characteristics can be utilized to design nursing interventions to develop vicarious resilience and enhance the quality of care in mental health facilities.
