Finding Solutions in Aromatherapy Practises While Maintaining Resilience as Nursing Leaders

Abstract

Mackenzie Stella*

A typical definition of personal resilience is the capacity to function well in the face of adversity. Personal resilience has been conceptualised in a wide variety of ways. Historically, the term "resilience" has been used to refer to both physiological and psychological characteristics, the latter of which varies from person to person and is influenced by one's own particular aromatherapy coping mechanisms. People, situations, and cultures all have different understandings of resilience, which is sometimes seen as an innate personality feature and other times as a dynamic process that exists on a continuum between resilience and fragility. The former implies that certain people are less resilient or lack the necessary skills to overcome hardship, while the later implies that levels of personal resilience can fluctuate depending. Aromatherapy practises are influenced by a person's environment and contextual conditions. The way in which we think about resilience in the nursing workforce is affected by this latter idea of resilience as a continuous process.
