Managing adversity: a cross-sectional exploration of resilience in social care
The study highlights the importance of resilience among social care workers in Northern Ireland and emphasises the need to explore factors such as Work-related Sense of Coherence to enhance well-being and job performance. An all systems approach to building and sustaining resilience is proposed, recognising individual assets, fostering supportive work environments, and reshaping societal perception of social care.
