Resilience as an object of study of occupational health: narrative review

Objective: To analyze the use of the concept of resilience in the objects of study of the research on Occupational Health. Method: A narrative review was conducted in electronic databases. Search words: resilience and worker's health. There was no time frame, but we chose to make the language restriction: only productions in Portuguese and Spanish. Results: Eight articles were gathered, among the selected four had complete texts, one was in English and three were in Portuguese, of which only two were related to the object of study. Conclusion: The study of resilience is relatively new in humanities, social and health, but knowledge of factors related to resilience may provide subsidies for workers to understand the determinants and factors that can strengthen their own resilience.
