| Annotation | This evidence review has been commissioned as part of the UK government's Foresight Future of an Ageing Population project; it was conducted by Kate M Bennett, University of Liverpool. It proposes an operationalised definition of resilience based on this one by Gill Windle in 2011: "The process of effectively negotiating, adapting to, or managing significant sources of stress or trauma ..." A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature on personal and emotional resilience and the associations between resilience and health, productivity and well-being found 56 papers which met review criteria. Eight papers were identified for interventions including bibliotherapy, t'ai chi, occupational therapy and relaxation. A review of the grey literature showed that government, the NHS and the third sector recognise resilience for older people. It considers changing factors influencing resilience until 2025: extended working life; dementia and mental health; demographic change; political and policy changes; and community, cultural and social changes. It also considers changing factors influencing resilience until 2040: changes to health; technological developments; and as yet unimagined influences. An appendix lists the items identified. (RH). |
