Abstract
The capacity to recover from extremes of trauma and stress is termed resilience. Resilience reflects a dynamic confluence of factors that promotes positive adaptation despite exposure to adverse life experiences. Resilience is thought to be important as a component of successful psychosocial adjustment and is associated with mental health. In recent years, increasing attention has been drawn to the potential role that personality and neurobiology might play in determining resilience.
This paper presents, from de current knowledge, an overview of the concept of resilience and its implications to the healthcare.

Resumen
La capacidad de recuperarse de situaciones traumáticas extremas es denominada resiliencia. La resiliencia refleja la confluencia dinámica de factores que promueven la adaptación positiva a pesar de la exposición a experiencias adversas. Se considera que la resiliencia es un componente de la adecuada adaptación psicosocial y se asocia con la salud mental. En los últimos años, se ha acentuado el interés por el potencial papel de la personalidad y la neurobiología en la configuración de la resiliencia.
Este trabajo realiza una revisión, desde los conocimientos actuales, del concepto resiliencia y sus implicaciones en el ámbito de la salud.
