These attributes are ability to learn from experience, adaptability, ability to function again, ability to overcome crises, ability to recover, and empower resources in the family. Conclusion: building family resilience in preventing post-disaster psychosocial problems is the main goal of disaster management on a psychosocial perspective. This analysis provides a new perspective for nurses by helping them understand all components in the concept of family resilience.
