Background: Resilience refers to the capacity for suitable responding to stress in achieving the objectives at the least physical and psychological costs. The present review aims to illustrate the individual and contextual features of resilience improvement in healthcare professions.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and searching the online databases as PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from January 2014 to December 2020 using a combination of MESH and EMTREE entry terms and free keywords. The English articles, book chapters, and grey literature were included in the study. The data were recorded to an extraction form designed in Excel. The quality assessment of studies wasn’t performed due to scoping review. Thematic analysis was used to synthesize the data.
Results: 5434 articles were identiļ¬ed via searching in the databases. 63 articles were reviewed that most of them from the USA (30 articles, 46%) and conducted as a qualitative study (32 articles, 50%). The main aspects of resilience that were extracted from the included studies were personal resilience, resilience in the emergency department, and resilience in healthcare providers. The main feature of resilience among healthcare providers was coping.
Conclusion: Studies with more accurate methodology should investigate the situation of the healthcare providers’ resilience in difficult healthcare conditions instead of the mere emphasis on providing a fixed concept for all persons without considering the system impacts.
