3. Is this Resilience?
A dynamic, evolving process of positive attitudes and effective strategies in response to a stressful event (Jensen et al., 2008)
Coping effectively in the face of adversity (Bonanno, 2004)
Responding to stress in a healthy way at minimal psychological and physical cost (Epstein & Krasner, 2013)
A two dimensional construct including the experience of adverse conditions and the presence of positive skills in coping with these conditions(Beddoe,Davys Adamson 2013)
Wholehearted engagement with, not withdrawal from, the often harsh realities of the workplace (Epstein & Krasner, 2013)

4. Or rather than attempting to achieve ‘conceptual clarity’ or a consensus of meaning, resilience should be considered a rubric or ‘umbrella term” (Grant & Kinman, 2013)
