THE ANATOMY OF RESILIENCE: HELPS AND HINDRANCES AS WE AGE: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
This research project set out to answer the following questions:
- What are the outcomes that matter most to older people in relation to their personal wellbeing?
- What are the real and everyday barriers that most prevent older people attaining these outcomes?
- Which roles do and might statutory and voluntary sector ‘services’, community networks and informal carers play in reducing these barriers?
- What are the experiences and ‘pathways’ of those who are just starting to face challenges to their independence and well-being (and their supporters)?
- What is the learning for a whole system approach to early prevention?
This report covers Stage 1 of the project: an evidence review, which identifies, reviews and critically appraises the Welsh and wider UK literature in relation to the above questions, focusing on carers and older citizens, with a particular focus on those who are not already engaged with services.
