Research on resilience has focused primarily on identifying protective factors at the individual and family levels, and consequently less is known about the impact of broader community systems, such as schools. Schools offer an important opportunity to provide widespread support for adolescents and offset health disparities for Latine youth. This study sought to examine the unique contribution of school-level factors in predicting indicators of resilience (mental health problems, prosocial behaviors, and self-esteem) above and beyond individual and family factors. The present study included 94 Latine adolescents and their parents. Findings revealed that school engagement and school belongingness accounted for significant unique variance in adolescents’ mental health problems, prosocial behavior, and self-esteem after accounting for individual and family protective factors. These findings suggested that schools can be an important context for fostering resilience in Latine youth.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72113,"journal":{"name":"Adversity and resilience science","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of this situation, resilience has been identified as a protective factor that reduces the negative impact of prolonged caregiving in contexts related to disability and dependency. The objective of this research was to systematically analyze the relationship between resilience and overload, quantifying the magnitude of this relationship through a meta-analysis. The PRISMA guidelines were followed. A systematic search was conducted in Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Dialnet, and quantitative studies reporting correlations between resilience and caregiver burden were included. Thirty-two studies that met the eligibility criteria were included. The meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model, which resulted in a significantly negative correlation, indicating that high levels of resilience are associated with low levels of overload among caregivers of dependent persons (<i>r</i> = -.39, 95% CI [-.46, -.32]; I² = 93.55%). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the stability of the results, and Egger's and Begg's tests ruled out the existence of publication bias. Although heterogeneity was high, moderation analyses did not identify any significant explanatory variables. In conclusion, the results confirm that resilience is an essential resource for coping with the demands of caregiving associated with dependency. Strengthening resilience is a key strategy for reducing overload and promoting the sustainability of care in disability and health contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72113,"journal":{"name":"Adversity and resilience science","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148987072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A socioeconomically and racially diverse sample of 30 reproductive-aged women completed online surveys assessing intrapersonal, interpersonal, community, and institutional resilience resources, followed by in-depth, semi-structured interviews exploring how these supports helped women address stressors and were experienced across the lifecourse. Quantitative analyses identified nine resilience components, including spirituality, spending time in nature, self-love, support from partners, family, friends, neighbors, and community organizations, and professional mental health services. While participants ranked spirituality and partner support as their most important supports, they ranked community supports as the least important. Qualitative findings corroborated survey results and further elucidated multilevel pathways through which intrapersonal strengths and positive coping mechanisms (e.g., self-care, spirituality), interpersonal relationships with one’s social networks such as friends and parents, community connections such as religious community and other community groups, and professional mental health services supported women during stress. Findings advance the conceptualization and measurement of maternal resilience and highlight the need for culturally responsive, multilevel interventions and policies that strengthen proximal supports while addressing structural barriers that shape women’s capacity to thrive. </p></div>","PeriodicalId":72113,"journal":{"name":"Adversity and resilience science","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42844-026-00243-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148986365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Network analysis was conducted with the Ising model to identify central and bridge nodes. Network Comparison Test was applied to compare networks between adolescents with and without maltreatment. Among the 6670 adolescents included, 52.4% were boys and the mean age was 14.5 years.

Key bridge nodes linking the two clusters included PCE-9 (“have a positive self-perception”), PCE-10 (“have a predictable home routine”), and PCE-4 (“enjoyed school”) from the PCE cluster, as well as PHQ-9 (“self-harm or suicidal thoughts”) from the depressive symptom cluster. Global strength was significantly higher in adolescents with maltreatment, whereas network structure did not differ significantly between groups. The identification of central and bridge nodes offers item-level insights into the association between PCEs and depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents.

Results showed that the association between resilience and PTS varied by attachment orientation.
