Abstract

Resilience is defined as the human capacity to positively answer to daily life demands, despite the adversities it faces during its development. It is understood as a concept that holds a great potential concerning preventing and promoting health among populations; even though, it is still embraced by uncertainties and controversies. The aim of this paper is to provide a study review, focusing on conversions and diversions of the resilience conceptions from different authors, besides presenting what has been analyzed as risk and protection factors associated to it, pointing out the problems found in the construction of the knowledge about such phenomenon. The reviewed material illustrates that despite the knowledge already produced there is not a consensus about the definition of resilience yet, and its procedure represents a great challenge for researchers along their studies.
