Abstract

RESILIENCE-INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH AND PERSPECTIVES (Abstract): Re-silience is defined as the ability to maintain or successfully regain cognitive health after fac-ing significant stress. Therefore, this concept helps us understand why some individuals cope with stressful situations much better than others. To explore the concept of resilience, refer-ence should be made to the allied concept of adaptation strategies. In the geriatric popula-tion, chronic illness is a common problem that could reduce the impact of coping strategies and resilience, especially when the illness is associated with pain and disability. Depression and functional independence are also correlated with resilience and are important in modu-lating the subsequent rehabilitation. In the geriatric population, functional recovery after ma-jor stress is influenced by many factors. Adaptive ability and frailty play an important role, interacting in determining the final functional status. Acute or chronic stress reduced physi-cal activity, poor nutritional status, and depression can trigger or accelerate frailty.
