Friends, Its well known fact that stress reduce the resilience ability. Is there any article stating this fact in case of COVID? Or any general article stating this?
Why do you think stress reduces resilience? I think you need a stressor to measure resilience, as resilience has been defined as the maintenance or quick recovery of mental health during and after times of adversity - so especially the pandemic. Isn't that what resilience is all about? Having stress and still staying mentally healthy? Don't you think it's because of these circumstances that we have a better chance of identifying resilient people?
Moral distress and resilience we have analysed. You can read our paper on RG named:
Moral Distress and its Interconnection with Moral Sensitivity and Moral Resilience: Viewed from the Philosophy of Viktor E. Frankl .
Kim Lützén & Béatrice Ewalds-Kvist
Abstract The interconnection between moral distress, moral sensitivity, and moral resilience was explored by constructing two hypothetical scenarios based on a re-cent Swedish newspaper report. In the first scenario, a 77-year-old man, rational and awake, was coded as“do not resuscitate”(DNR) against his daughter’s wishes.The patient died in the presence of nurses who were not permitted to resuscitate him.
The second scenario concerned a 41-year-old man, who had been in a coma for three weeks. He was also coded as“do not resuscitate”and, when he stopped breathing, was resuscitated by his father. The nurses persuaded the physician on call toresume life support treatment and the patient recovered.These scenarios were analyzed using Viktor Frankl’s existential philosophy, resulting in a conceivable theoretical connection between moral distress, moral sensitivity,and moral resilience.
Moral agency in health care practice is fundamentallya dynamic, inter-relational process that is prompted by moral sensitivity—an awareness of the moral implica-tion in making a decision on behalf of another humanbeing (Lützén et al.2006).Moral action is followed by personal and professional reflection, justification, and accountability for the decision made (Edwards et al.2011; Peter2011). From a relational ethics perspective,moral agency not only consists of cognitive ability and emotional capacity but also is demonstrated in an attitude of respectfor the other (Bergum and Dossetor 2005).Although these personal capacities may be present, moral agency is not always an easy task when value conflicts occur and moral imperatives stand in opposition to one's own belief system.
