Abstract

Resilience is a dynamic and multidimensional construct that refers to the ability of people to cope with or recover successfully from adverse situations. The aim of this study was to analyze resilience in workers and residents of a Centre for the Elderly institutionalized according to sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age and marital status) after the adverse situation caused by an earthquake in Lorca in May 2011. A sociodemographic questionnaire developed ad hoc and the adaptation of the Resilience Scale Connor-Davidson (CD-RISC) were administered. Participants were 20 workers and 34 seniors in a Centre for the Elderly institutionalized in the Region of Murcia (Lorca). The average age of the institutionalized seniors was 81 years with a standard deviation of 7.68 and the average age of professional caregivers was 37.85 years with a standard deviation of 9.60. The study allows to determine resilience capacity in response to sociodemographic characteristics and the existence of significant mean differences between the ability of tenacity-efficacy among workers and residents of the Centre for the Elderly. This will allow to design actions to prevent and/or intervene promptly.
