Resilience and Professional Nurses<br />
115<br />
guidelines for in-service training and other<br />
programs to enhance resilience and psychosocial<br />
well-being in all nurses. It is further<br />
recommended that strengths specific to the<br />
various cultures from which the nursing<br />
population is made up of, be further explored.<br />
Although the authors recognise the<br />
significance and inter-relatedness of culture<br />
in resilience and were respectful and mindful<br />
of culture differences, it was not explored.<br />
<strong>The</strong> nursing profession as having a culture of<br />
its own was clearly recognised in the<br />
similarities found in the narratives of the<br />
participants from the different South African<br />
cultural groups taking part in this multicultural<br />
study.<br />
