Resilience and Disaster: Flexible Adaptation in the Face of Uncertain Threat

Annual Review of Psychology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 75(1), P. 573 - 599

Published: Aug. 11, 2023

Disasters cause sweeping damage, hardship, and loss of life. In this article, we first consider the dominant psychological approach to disasters its narrow focus on psychopathology (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder). We then review research a broader that has identified heterogeneous, highly replicable trajectories outcome, most common being stable mental health or resilience. trajectory for different types disasters, including COVID-19 pandemic. Next, correlates resilience note their paradoxically limited ability predict future resilient outcomes. Research using machine learning algorithms improved prediction but not yet illuminated mechanism behind adaptation. To end, propose more direct explanation based motivational mechanistic components regulatory flexibility. Finally, how might leverage new computational approaches better capture flexibility in real time.

Predictors of stress resilience in Parkinson’s disease and associations with symptom progression

npj Parkinson s Disease, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(1)

Published: April 11, 2024

Abstract People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are sensitive to effects of long-term stress, but might differ in stress resilience, i.e. the ability maintain mental health despite adversity. It is unclear whether resilience PD predominantly determined by dopamine deficiency, psychosocial factors, or both. In animal models, chronic stressors accelerate progression, evidence humans lacking. Our objectives were (1) distinguish stressor-reactive from resilient patients, (2) identify and (3) compare symptom progression between patients. We conducted a longitudinal survey Personalized Parkinson Project participants ( N = 350 PD). used COVID-19 pandemic as model stressor, aligned time for entire cohort. COVID-19-related stressors, perceived symptoms assessed at 11 timepoints (April-October 2020). Both pre-COVID in-COVID clinical assessments available. quantified stressor-reactivity residual actual predicted relative modeled trajectories across timepoints. explored predictors 6-month average stressor-reactivity, tested was prospectively associated one-year rates.

Digital interventions to promote psychological resilience: a systematic review and meta-analysis

npj Digital Medicine, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 7(1)

Published: Feb. 8, 2024

Abstract Societies are exposed to major challenges at an increasing pace. This underscores the need for preventive measures such as resilience promotion that should be available in time and without access barriers. Our systematic review summarizes evidence on digital interventions, which have potential meet these demands. We searched five databases randomized-controlled trials non-clinical adult populations. Primary outcomes were mental distress, positive health, factors. Multilevel meta-analyses performed compare intervention control groups post-intervention follow-up assessments. identified 101 studies comprising 20,010 participants. Meta-analyses showed small favorable effects SMD = –0.24, 95% CI [–0.31, –0.18], 0.27, [0.13, 0.40], factors, 0.31, [0.21, 0.41]. Among middle-aged samples, older age was associated with more beneficial follow-up, smaller active groups. Effects comparable those of face-to-face interventions underline prepare future challenges.

Psychological Resilience Factors and Their Association With Weekly Stressor Reactivity During the COVID-19 Outbreak in Europe: Prospective Longitudinal Study

JMIR Mental Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 10, P. e46518 - e46518

Published: Oct. 17, 2023

Background Cross-sectional relationships between psychosocial resilience factors (RFs) and resilience, operationalized as the outcome of low mental health reactivity to stressor exposure (low “stressor reactivity” [SR]), were reported during first wave COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Objective Extending these findings, we here examined prospective weekly dynamics same RFs SR a longitudinal sample aftermath several European countries. Methods Over 5 weeks app-based assessments, participants exposure, problems, RFs, demographic data 1 6 different languages. As (partly) preregistered, hypotheses tested cross-sectionally at baseline (N=558), longitudinally (n=200), using mixed effects models mediation analyses. Results baseline, including positive appraisal style (PAS), optimism (OPT), general self-efficacy (GSE), perceived good stress recovery (REC), social support (PSS), negatively associated with scores, not only (baseline scores; all P<.001) but also prospectively (average scores across subsequent weeks; (PA), P=.008; OPT, P<.001; GSE, P=.01; REC, PSS, P=.002).

The mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, many experts pointed to potential adverse mental health effects for older adults. By contrast, studies young middle-aged adults found age be associated with reduced burden. However, a systematic review on is missing. Objectives To comprehensively assess pandemic’s impact Data sources We searched nine databases from December 2019 April 2022. Study selection included longitudinal and repeated cross-sectional assessing pre- and/or peri-pandemic distress positive indicators (e.g. wellbeing) at least two occasions. synthesis identified 108 comprising 102,136 participants (≥60 years). After removal of outliers, there was small increase pre-to-peri-pandemic assessments, standardised mean difference (SMD) = 0.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.01, 0.18]. Furthermore, decrease anxiety symptoms observed, whereas other remained unchanged. For indicators, wellbeing quality life showed an initial decrease, overall increased during SMD 0.08, CI 0.15]. Being female related larger increases distress. Conclusions Based studies, this demonstrated decreases early stages pandemic adults, evidence later recovery. These findings are similar those younger correct earlier claims that particular risk negative consequences. The results ask further research into resilience adaptation processes

Journal of Traumatic Stress, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 37(5), P. 717 - 723

Published: June 5, 2024

This article summarizes the growing literature on resilience in face of aversive and potentially traumatic events (PTEs) three basic axioms: (a) is a common outcome, 2) there are no "key" traits to (resilience not type), (c) resilient outcomes occur through flexible self-regulation. The first axiom highlights limitation traditional, binary view trauma terms presence-absence posttraumatic stress disorder, emphasizing instead heterogeneity outcomes. Four prototypical trajectories reviewed: chronic symptoms; delayed recovery; most trajectory, resilience. second reviews paradoxical inability known correlates adequately predict Resilience described as multifaceted phenomenon with singular set key traits, various factors contribute complex ways. third provides an explanation how can emerge from this array by introducing concept flexibility mindset providing motivation for responding. sequence explaining mechanisms underlying serial stages: context sensitivity, strategy repertoire, feedback adjustment. final section briefly considers clinical implications.

Multisystemic supports and adolescent resilience to depression over time: A South African mixed methods study

Development and Psychopathology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 35(5), P. 2365 - 2383

Published: May 5, 2023

Abstract In sub-Saharan countries, like South Africa, there is scant understanding of adolescent resilience to depression over time; the multisystemic resource combinations that support such resilience; and whether more diverse yield better mental health dividends. response, we conducted a longitudinal concurrent nested mixed methods study with 223 African adolescents (mean age: 17.16 years, SD = 1.73; 64.60% girls; 81.60% Black). Using mixture modeling, quantitative identified trajectories associations between trajectory membership diversity. draw-and-write methodology reflexive thematic analyses, qualitative explored diversity associated each trajectory. Taken together, these studies four (Stable Low; Declining; Worsening; Chronic High) varying at baseline time. Resource was inclusive personal, relational, contextual, culturally valued resources in both Stable Low Declining trajectories, emphasis on relational supports. Personal were emphasized Worsening High contextual de-emphasized. summary, constellations characterized by within across system cultural responsiveness are protective will be key advancing health.
