TL;DR: This concept analysis can provide a fundamental definition of resilience that is derived from the evolution of the term but broadly supports contemporary applications and can be applied when exploring the possibility of resilience-based interventions.
Abstract: TOPIC. Concept analysis of resilience.
PURPOSE. To analyze the concept of resilience and provide a definition of resilience that is contextually independent of specific age-related groups or populations.
SOURCES. Published literature.
CONCLUSIONS. Resilience is being increasingly studied in innovative ways among diverse populations. The broadly accepted definition of the term, however, has evolved through literature related specifically to children and adolescents. This concept analysis can provide a fundamental definition of resilience that is derived from the evolution of the term but broadly supports contemporary applications. Resilience researchers can apply this definition when exploring the possibility of resilience-based interventions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an in-depth analysis of the concept self-efficacy through the use of Rodger's model and conclude that selfefficacy beliefs influence how people think, feel, motivate themselves, and act.
Abstract: TOPIC. Concept analysis and self-efficacy.
PURPOSE. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the concept self-efficacy through the use of Rodger's model.
SOURCES. Published research.
CONCLUSION. Self-efficacy beliefs influence how people think, feel, motivate themselves, and act. Self-efficacy is concerned about the perception or judgment of being able to accomplish a specific goal and cannot be sensed globally. In order to gain a sense of self-efficacy, a person can complete a skill successfully, observe someone else doing a task successfully, acquire positive feedback about completing a task, or rely on physiological cues.

TL;DR: This concept analysis adds some clarification by proposing a definition of spirituality that is underpinned by both conceptual and empirical research, and could guide future nursing research on spirituality.
Abstract: Aim
The aim of this article is to clarify the concept of spirituality for future nursing research.
Background
Previous concept analyses of spirituality have mostly reviewed the conceptual literature with little consideration of the empirical literature. The literature reviewed in prior concept analyses extends from 1972 to 2005, with no analysis conducted in the past 9 years.
Design
Rodgers' evolutionary framework was used to review both the theoretical and empirical literature pertaining to spirituality. Evolutionary concept analysis is a formal method of philosophical inquiry, in which papers are analyzed to identify attributes, antecedents, and consequences of the concept.
Data Source
Empirical and conceptual literature.
Results
Three defining attributes of spirituality were identified: connectedness, transcendence, and meaning in life. A conceptual definition of spirituality was proposed based on the findings. Also, four antecedents and five primary consequences of spirituality were identified.
Conclusions
Spirituality is a complex concept. This concept analysis adds some clarification by proposing a definition of spirituality that is underpinned by both conceptual and empirical research. Furthermore, exemplars of spirituality, based on prior qualitative research, are presented to support the findings. Hence, the findings of this analysis could guide future nursing research on spirituality.
