Purpose: to study the peculiarities of the relationship between resilience and socio-psychological adaptation to activities in novice athletes; to develop a program of social and psychological training for the development of resilience and optimization of the adaptation process in athletes. Material and methods. The study involved 42 sportsmen of fire-applied sports at the age from 17 to 20 years. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature, system analysis and data interpretation; testing; methods of mathematical statistics. Results. As a result of the research, a resilience training was developed for novice athletes in order to optimize adaptation processes. The main goals of the training are: achieving a deeper understanding of stressful circumstances, ways to overcome them; finding ways to actively solve problems; constant use of feedback, thereby deepening the self-perception of involvement, control and risk taking. After the training, the level of resilience increased, the maladjustment of the participants decreased. Conclusions. The article presents a theoretical analysis and empirical study of the problem of the relationship between resilience and socio-psychological adaptation to sports activity of young sportsmen of adolescence. The results obtained in empirical research indicate that the level of resilience is associated with indicators of adaptation. The socio-psychological training has been developed to optimize the process of adaptation to sports activity by increasing the level of vitality. The effectiveness of the developed training program for athletes has been proven.

Children, especially girls, are more vulnerable during crises, who need to acquire skills such as social self-efficacy to meet the challenges of the environment. Given that, much progress has been made in e-learning; its capabilities can be used to promote children’s health. This study aimed to determine the effect of virtual resilience training on the social self-efficacy of elementary school girls. This experimental study was performed on primary school girls aged 9–10 years in southeastern Iran. Students were selected by convenience sampling and divided into intervention ( n = 40) and control ( n = 37) groups by using randomized allocation. The Children’s Social Self-Efficacy in Peer Interaction Scale was used for data collection before, immediately, and one month after the intervention. No significant difference was found between the two groups of intervention and control in the score of social self-efficacy before the intervention. However, the score of students in the intervention group improved immediately and one month after the intervention, and a significant difference was observed between the two groups ( p = .0001). Virtual resilience training has improved the social self-efficacy of elementary school girls and facing challenges is inevitable in today’s world, so resilience training seems necessary to prevent social and psychological harm in such children.

PurposeWhile lockdowns are essential in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, school closures may increase risk of loneliness in adolescents. In this paper, we investigate how lockdown affects loneliness in adolescents and potential protective factors. MethodsThis study examines 768 young people in Scotland age 12 to 17, who took part in TeenCovidLife surveys during and after the first national lockdown in 2020. Survey 1 ran from May to July 2020, during the first school closures period. Survey 2 ran from August to October 2020, after schools reopened for most pupils. Participants reported current loneliness and pre-pandemic loneliness. Participants also completed self-report measures of resilience and social support.ResultsLoneliness increased from pre-pandemic levels during lockdown and then decreased when restrictions eased. However, loneliness remained significantly higher post-lockdown compared to pre-pandemic. Predictors of loneliness were assessed with ordinal logistic regression. Greater resilience was associated with lower loneliness at all stages of lockdown, but older teens were more likely to be lonely post-lockdown. Greater peer support was associated with lower loneliness before lockdown. However, during lockdown, family support was associated with lower loneliness. After schools re-opened, participants with greater social support from school staff were 15% less likely to be lonely.ConclusionLoneliness was higher during lockdown than before lockdown. Moreover, loneliness remained higher after lockdown than before lockdown. However, resilience and social support in school may protect against this lingering loneliness. Resilience training and school-based social support programmes may reduce the long-term effects of lockdown on well-being in young people.

Background Caring for children with cancer can be a stressful experience for parents and may have negative effects on their physical and psychological well-being. Although evidence has shown that resilience is associated with positive psychological well-being, few interventions have been specifically designed to enhance the resilience of parents of children with cancer. Objective The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a mobile device–based resilience training program in reducing depressive symptoms and enhancing resilience and quality of life (QoL) in parents of children with cancer. Methods Parents of children diagnosed with cancer were recruited from the pediatric oncology wards of 3 tertiary hospitals in China. The participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (52/103, 50.5%) to undergo an 8-week mobile device–based resilience training program or to the control group (51/103, 49.5%) to receive an 8-week program of placebo information. The study outcomes included resilience, depressive symptoms, and QoL, as measured by the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, the Self-Rating Depression Scale, and the Short Form of the 6-Dimension Health Survey, respectively. All data were collected at baseline and at 2 and 6 months of follow-up. The data analysis followed the intention-to-treat principle. A generalized estimating equation was used to examine the effects of the intervention. Results The participants were mostly female (72/103, 69.9%), and their mean age was 33.6 (SD 5.2) years. The participants in the experimental group showed significantly higher levels of resilience (mean 67.96, SD 15.8 vs mean 58.27, SD 19.0; P<.001) and lower levels of depressive symptoms (mean 40.17, SD 9.9 vs mean 46.04, SD 10.9; P<.001) than those in the control group at 6 months of follow-up. The intervention showed statistically significant effects in improving resilience (β=6.082; P=.01) and decreasing depressive symptoms (β=−2.772; P=.04) relative to the control group. The QoL score in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group at 6 months of follow-up (mean 0.79, SD 0.2 vs mean 0.76, SD 0.3; P=.07); however, no statistically significant intervention effect was detected (β=.020; P=.38). Conclusions The mobile device–based resilience training program effectively enhanced resilience and alleviated depressive symptoms in parents of children with cancer. It is highly recommended that health care professionals incorporate this resilience training program when providing psychological care to parents of children with cancer.

BACKGROUND Resilience is an ‘ability which involves behaviours, thoughts and actions which can be learned and developed in anyone’. The principal investigator of this study found that the institute counsellor conducted 65 counselling sessions for the student nurses in the academic year from 2018/2019 to 2020/2021. Forty-five percent of them were related to clinical issues, and some of the student nurses had even quit the programme due to serious mental problems. Such phenomenon can be explained by the fact that this programme was their first exposure to a complex workplace after completing their secondary education; they needed extra support to overcome the adversities and adapt to the clinical environment. Currently, in the first clinical practicum, student nurses are normally supervised and supported in groups by their schoolteachers and groupmates every minute. In the subsequent clinical practicums, they need to work independently in the ward and are supervised by the ward nurses when necessary. The schoolteachers are their resource persons, and the former visits the latter approximately once bi-weekly. Therefore, this study aims to implement a pilot study on introducing a structured and scientifically proven method, namely, Stress Management and Resilience Training (SMART), to the student nurses before their second clinical practicum, evaluate its effectiveness and explore students’ experience in using it. OBJECTIVE • To employ a structured and evidence-based programme, namely, Stress Management and Resilience Training (SMART), to student nurses before their clinical practicum which aims to boost their resilience. • To evaluate the effectiveness of SMART by measuring the changes in nursing students’ resilience and stress levels at three time points by using two self-report questionnaires. They are Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 (CD-RISC-10) and Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10). • To explore students’ experience in using SMART during their clinical practicum by conducting two semi-structured focus group interviews. METHODS This research is a mixed-method study using a pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) and focus group interviews. The RCT will be conducted in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement. A total of 100 student nurses will be randomly assigned into control and test groups. A group of experienced professionals will employ Sood’s framework to devise a nursing-based and 8-week SMART programme and will intervene it to 50 student nurses in the intervention group. No intervention will be implemented to the 50 student nurses in the control group. Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 and Perceived Stress Scale-10 will be used to measure students’ resilience and stress levels at three different time points. After the student completed the second clinical practicum, semi-structured focus group interviews will be conducted to collect students’ experience of using SMART. The demographic data will be summarised by descriptive statistics of frequency count, mean and standard deviation. Chi-squared test and Fisher's exact test will be applied to analyse the differences between demographic variables. Given that the outcome measures of both assessment tools are continuous data, dependent t-test will be used to compare the means between time points. Multilevel modelling analysis will be used to investigate the changes in the outcome measures on each time interval with respect to its baseline and assess the effectiveness of the intervention. A two-level model can be built with repeated time points at level 1 and participants at level 2. The significantly different demographic variables between groups and other possible confounders will be adjusted by including them in the main effect model. A pairwise comparison and other hypotheses on the intervention effects can be tested using a generalised Wald test with an adequate degree of freedom from the modelling analysis. RESULTS The recruitment for this study will begin in March 2022 and the results are expected to be ready by February 2023. CONCLUSIONS This protocol outlines a pilot study on introducing a SMART programme to the student nurses and the methods of evaluating its impact. CLINICALTRIAL Nil

Background: The COVID-19 Pandemic had a significant negative impact on the mental health of healthcare workers. Evidence-based interventions that could be used to mitigate this impact are lacking in the literature. This review aims to evaluate psychological interventions used for employees following previous disasters and assess the transferability of these interventions to a healthcare setting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Intervention information from a previously published systematic review of the literature published up to 2015 was extracted, and an additional search of studies published from 2015-2020 was conducted. Studies were assessed for transferability using a checklist derived from the PIET-T process model. Results: Interventions from eighteen studies were assessed for transferability (including three studies identified in an updated literature search). Interventions established as most transferable included resilience training, meditation/mindfulness interventions, and cognitive behavioural therapy. Psychological debriefing was transferable but as it is contrary to current recommendations is not deemed appropriate for adoption. Implications: Several existing interventions have the potential to be utilised within the COVID-19 context/pandemic. More research needs to be undertaken in this area to assess these interventions upon transfer.

The importance of resilience for employees' well-being and performance at work has grown steadily in recent years. This development has become even more pronounced through the recent COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, including major changes in occupational settings. Although there is increasing interest in resilience in general and a growing number of publications focusing on the development of resilience in particular, many questions remain about resilience training, especially in organizational contexts. The purpose of this scoping review is to uncover what is known about resilience training in organizational contexts. A systematic search of four databases for articles published through 2021 was conducted. A total of 48 studies focusing on resilience training programs in organizational contexts were included in this review. The review provides relevant insights into resilience training programs by focusing on program characteristics, target group, study design, and outcomes. Based on the results, the main aspects that concern the development of resilience training programs for organizational settings and requirements for the study design for empirical investigation were summarized. The results of the review highlight possible directions for future research and offer useful insights for resilience-enhancing training programs in organizations.

Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to determine surgical trainees’ perspective regarding team environment, function, performance, and trust. Methods A 44-point, anonymous survey was distributed to all doctors working in surgery in a single UK Statutory Education Body with responses received from 116 (n = 17 Foundation Year 1 (FY1), n = 50 Senior House Officer (SHO), n = 49 Specialist Registrar (SpR)). Results Psychological safety was associated with trainee grade; SHO perception of support (60.4%, n = 29), FY1 (88.2%, n = 15), SpR (82.4%, n = 42), p = 0.016; and ability to ask for help: SHO (70.8%, n = 34), FY1 (100.0%, n = 17), SpR (92.2%, n = 47 p = 0.043). Dependability among colleagues was perceived to be poorer by women (69.8%, n = 30) than men (87.5%, n = 63, p = 0.009). Clarity of team structure was associated with grade and perceived to be poor by SHOs (60.4%, n = 29) vs. FY1 (94.1%, n = 16) vs. SpR (78.4%, n = 40), p = 0.014. Meaningfulness and impact of team achievement was associated with grade: SHO (68.8%, n = 33) vs. FY1 (76.5%, n = 13) vs. SpR (94.1%, n = 48), p = 0.005. Inverse correlations were observed between the prevalence of harassment/bullying and markers of psychological safety (rho -0.382, p &lt; 0.001), dependability (rho -0.270, p = 0.003), and clarity of team structure (rho -0.355, p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion Important deficiencies in psychological safety impacted two in five of SHOs adversely. Countermeasures (Enhanced Surgical Resilience Training) are needed to protect morale, patient safety, and clinical outcomes.
