Ways of being resilience on nursing home nursing staffs: A phenomenographic approach

Aim: The study’s aim is to identify the methods behind nursing staff resiliency in nursing homes (NHs) Method: Phenomenography was used. Data collection was conducted with semi-structured interviews with 20 nursing staff members in NHs, and a data analysis based on phenomenography was conducted. Results: : Eight categories were derived. The eight categories were then divided into two groups of four representing perception and strategy. Perception had three levels of awareness, valuing, and assuring, while strategy had three levels of identifying, introspecting, and concretizing. Conclusion: The ways NH nursing staff enhanced and employed their resilience to overcome professional crises included considering both internal and external factors for residents and themselves while seeking a positive direction for growth. This study will suggest a roadmap for future educational interventions to improve the resilience of nursing staff working in NHs.
