Exploring the perspectives of child health strategy stakeholders on resilience and well-being in children and youths in Singapore: A qualitative study by Yee Keow Chiong, Kee Seng Chia

“… Resilience has been defined as the capacity of a dynamic system to adapt well to potential threats,1 while mitigating the negative impact of behavioural and physiological changes due to chronic stress,2 and the resumption of positive functioning thereafter.3 Resilience enables one to adapt positively to adversities in life and allows the transformation of toxic stress to tolerable stress. The factors associated with resilience are homogeneous across studies, which are individual attributes such as self-regulation and problem-solving skills, relational attributes such as secure attachment relationships, and connections to school and community.4 This is relevant to the Singaporean context, as the Singapore Mental Health Study conducted from 2016 to 2018 revealed that 1 in 5 youths, aged between 18 and 34 years old have a mental disorder.5 Mental disorders were also reported to be the largest contributor to disease burden for Singaporeans aged 10 to 34 years old, peaking for 15 to 19 year-olds, for whom it represented 25.8% of total disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).5 In 2020, suicide is the leading cause of death for those aged 10 to 29 years old. …”
