Purpose: To clarify the concept and defining attributes of psychological resili-ence within the mental health context and provide a theoretical foundation for future research, assessment, and clinical practice. Design: A concept analysis. Methods: Walker and Avant’s eight-step concept analysis method was applied. Relevant theo-retical and empirical literature published between 2015 and 2025 was retrieved from the PubMed, Ovid, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases. The defining attributes, an-tecedents, consequences, empirical referents, and illustrative cases of psychological resilience were identified and analyzed. Results: Three defining attributes of psy-chological resilience were identified: psychological and emotional stability under adversity, mobilization of internal and external resources for adaptive coping, and restoration and growth following adversity. Antecedents included individual, inter-personal, and environmental factors that support resilience development. Conse-quences comprised clinical, psychological, and social outcomes, including symptom stabilization, emotional well-being, functional recovery, and improved quality of life. Empirical referents included validated resilience instruments and related indi-cators that assess adaptive coping, emotional regulation, and recovery outcomes. Conclusion: Psychological resilience is a dynamic and multidimensional process that enables individuals to adapt positively and recover from adversity. Clarification of this concept provides a theoretical foundation for the development of assessment tools and clinical interventions, thereby contributing to the promotion of mental health and recovery-oriented care.
