Weathering the storm of perinatal bereavement via hardiness
Abstract:
Hardiness is a personal resource that can potentially diminish negative effects of life stress. To increase understanding of the role that it can have on the health protection and promotion of bereaved parents following a perinatal loss, this article uses J. Wilson's (1969) method to present a concept analysis of hardiness. This analysis provides not only a fresh perspective for understanding the experience of perinatal loss but has also induced the development of a hardiness instrument. Knowledge development in this area is paramount for professionals interested in enabling bereaved parents to draw on and develop their hardiness, not only to transcend the experience but ultimately to gain a sense of personal growth following their loss.
