Abstract

Introduction: The Family Resilience Assessment Instrument and Tool (FRAIT) (Wallace et al, 2018) is used in Wales UK by Health Visitors (public health nurses) to assess a family’s resilience, and to identify interventions which can strengthen resilience. Researchers from the University of South Wales (USW) FRAIT team (Prof. Carolyn Wallace, Emeritus Prof. David Pontin, Dr Michelle Thomas and Mrs Anitha Livingstone) and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Rishikesh (Prof. Vartika Saxena, Dr. Ajeet Singh Bhadoria and Dr. Aprajita Mehta) came together to identify the concept of family resilience as understood by Indian community health workers. This concept will be used to develop a culturally relevant tool to measure the resilience of families with children under 6 years living in India (FRAIT India). The culturally relevant tool may be used by Indian community health workers working with families in India.
