ObjectivesThe objective of this scoping review was to examine resilience and resilient pain behaviors for those with CLBP in relation to resilience definitions, operationalization (e.g. trait or behavior), and application of theoretical frameworks.DesignThis scoping review examined resilience and resilient pain behaviors for those with CLBP in relation to resilience definitions, operationalization (e.g. trait or behavior), and application of theoretical frameworks.Data SourcesTo gather data, we used five databases: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycInfo, and Scopus.Review/Analysis MethodsAuthors used a systematic data charting spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel) to review and analyze the extracted data.ResultsA total of 26 articles, from 2011-2021, were included in the final analysis. A majority of articles were conducted in the United States (11) and cross-sectional secondary data analysis design (13). Resilience definitions varied across the studies. Three studies operationalized resilience as a trait and only one as a behavior. Most studies (20) did not include a theoretical framework.ConclusionThe majority cross-sectional design and heterogeneity of a resilience definition indicates resilience research is still emerging. The lack of operationalized resilience, specifically as a behavior, and the limited use of theoretical frameworks suggest advancements in resilience pain research are needed.Nursing Practice ImplicationsThis research has implications for nursing practice to support nurse's holistic perspective and the ability to incorporate resilience within nursing care. This research provides the initial steps to developing standard resilience definitions and frameworks to guide nursing practice.Copyright © 2024 American Society for Pain Management Nursing.
