Several communities are implementing trauma-informed, community-level approaches focused on addressing/preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), yet most community resilience definitions from published articles are based on acute traumas. This scoping review aims to determine how community resilience is defined and operationalized within the context of chronic/complex traumas.
We performed a rigorous, comprehensive literature search using multiple databases.
The 38 included articles addressed multiple types of chronic traumas, including historical trauma, poverty, minority stress, mass incarceration, and ACEs. A variety of definitions of community resilience were cited, several of which stressed the ability to thrive despite risk factors and the safety and wellbeing of residents. Few articles operationalized community resilience within the context of ACEs, suggesting significant gaps in the literature.
This review can serve as an important building block to develop expanded definitions of community resilience for chronic traumas and assist communities in promoting community-wide responses to ACEs.
几个社区正在实施以创伤为中心、以社区为基础的方法，重点是解决/预防不良的儿童期经历（ACEs），但大多数发表文章中的社区恢复力定义都是基于急性创伤。本范围综述旨在确定在慢性/复杂创伤背景下社区恢复力是如何定义和实施的。
我们使用多个数据库进行了严格、全面的文献检索。
38 篇纳入的文章涉及多种类型的慢性创伤，包括历史创伤、贫困、少数群体压力、大规模监禁和 ACEs。引用了多种社区恢复力的定义，其中有几个强调了尽管存在风险因素，但仍能茁壮成长以及居民的安全和福祉。很少有文章在 ACEs 的背景下实施社区恢复力，这表明文献中存在重大差距。
本综述可以作为一个重要的基石，为慢性创伤制定更广泛的社区恢复力定义，并帮助社区促进对 ACEs 的全社区响应。
