Psychological resilience in young and older adults

Results: The older adults were the more resilient group especially with respect to emotional regulation ability and problem solving. The young ones had more resilience related to social support. Poor perceptions of general health and low energy levels predicted low levels of resilience regardless of age. Low hopelessness scores also predicted greater resilience in both groups. Experiencing higher levels of mental illness and physical dysfunction predicted high resilience scores especially for the social support resilience scale in the older adults. The negative effects of depression on resilience related to emotional regulation were countered by low hopelessness but only in the young adults.

Conclusions: These results highlight the importance of maintaining resilience-related coping skills in both young and older adults but indicate that different psychological processes underlie resilience across the lifespan.

Stress on the Front Lines: Comparing Resilience in Female and Male Health Care Providers.  After experiencing a major stressor, women are more likely than men to report signs of anxiety or other symptoms of distress. This has led some to conclude that women may be less psychologically resilient than men. However, as shown by Women’s Health Research at Yale investigators studying stress in health care providers on the front lines of COVID-19, gender differences in reported distress were not found when the presence of preexisting or concurrent stressors were taken into account.

Research suggests that the incidence rate for NDEs among those who have survived a close brush with death is around 20%. Given that NDEs and PTSD commonly originate in exposure to life-threatening events, it seems reasonable to speculate that many who have been diagnosed with PTSD may also have experienced one or more features of an NDE.

Estimates vary but as many as 15% of those reporting NDEs describe them as distressing, even “hellish.” This includes being in a lifeless place, feeling threatened or sensing danger. It’s easy to imagine that such content could be a contributing cause of PTSD and/or exacerbate its symptoms.

Conceivably, this kind of experience could become the source of triggers, avoidance behaviors or intrusive memories. It could also reinforce self-limiting beliefs such as “There’s something wrong with me” or “I’m not safe.”

Although participants were not assessed for PTSD, the results reinforce what I have found in clinical practice. Clients with PTSD who have also had an NDE that is disclosed during counseling often use the NDE as a source of meaning, enhanced self-worth, and posttraumatic growth. Such explorations can also normalize an NDE and diminish distress with which it may have been associated.

I worked with a patient who developed delayed-onset PTSD related to combat. As he struggled with adverse aspects of illness such as debility and physical pain, he began having nightmares, panic attacks, and moral pain related to “dropping bombs on women and children.” He disclosed a combat-related NDE during which he’d felt unconditional love, unitive consciousness and had received the message that “everything bad I’d ever done had already been forgiven.”

He had dismissed this experience as an indication of “combat stress” and never spoken about it. When the NDE’s content was brought into our sessions he was able to affirm the experiences of love, connection and forgiveness which lessened the intensity of PTSD-related anxiety and shame. His panic attacks and nightmare ceased, and he was able to express his moral pain in ways that allowed self-compassion for himself as a “twenty-one-year-old kid” thrown into the savagery of war.

A study of combat veterans found that 82% of subjects had not disclosed NDEs to Veterans Administration staff. The researchers concluded that mental health providers need training in “how to invite survivors of a close brush with death to disclose a possible NDE. It may also need to include the point that NDEs alone do not justify diagnosis of mental disorder nor, it follows, treatment with psychoactive medications.”
