The Importance of Resilience

Resilience is the ability to manage and endure stressful events in a positive way, drawing on personal resources and external support. It allows individuals to navigate through challenging situations and even grow from them. Patients often use their faith and spirituality to combat illness and make medical decisions. Chaplains play a crucial role in providing compassionate care, supporting patients emotionally, and actively listening to them. Faith and spirituality have shown to enhance resilience, with studies indicating that churchgoers and religious individuals are less likely to experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or substance abuse.
