abstract: 'Background:Co-morbidity is a major late-life challenge with poor
outcomes, yet many older people are resilient. We consider an
ecopsychosocial framework of resilience to investigate this disparity.
This theorises that sources of resilience may be personal, social and
structural. We explored older people''s responses and reactions to
significant life experiences, to understand resilience development for
managing later life health challenges. Methods:We applied a two-stage,
cross-sectional mixed-methods design to the Cognitive Function and
Ageing Studies Wales (CFAS Wales). Participants'' defined quantitatively
as resilient (high level of well-being despite co-morbidity) were
identified in the wave 1 dataset. A sub-sample of the resilient
participants aged 65+ were randomly selected for semi-structured
interviews (N= 20). Qualitative thematic analyses were both inductive
and deductive. Results:The analyses revealed four primary life
experiences reflecting different developmental trajectories. ``Early
years as formative{''''} and ``work and employment as formative{''''}
occurred at normative developmental stages in the life-course. In
contrast non-normative life events such as loss, bereavement, illness of
self, and others underpinned the themes of ``adverse events and
experiences{''''} and ``caring experiences.{''''} Four potential mechanisms
for resilience were central to these life experiences, reflecting
reactions, actions, and development: ``character and self-identity;{''''}
``approach to life and insight;{''''} ``meaningful relationships and
belonging.{''''} Conclusions:This work contributes further theoretical
insights into the ecopsychosocial resilience framework. It highlights
the process of interdependence between the individual and the wider
environment, suggesting how the availability and accessibility of
resources and human agency (protective factors), can influence, and be
influenced by, the timing of significant events and experiences. In
doing so, it corroborates international healthy ageing policy which
recognises resilience as important for a public health response to
support older people to adjust to changes and losses experienced in
later life. It highlights the importance of current and future policies
and services for supporting the management of adverse events earlier in
the life-course, and recommends that policies and services take a ``long
view{''''} on population health and well-being and consider the whole
life-course, in addition to specific points in the ageing process.'
