The concept of resilience is increasingly influential in the development of interventions and services for young people, yet there is limited knowledge of how resilience-building strategies are conceptualized by young people across different cultures, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study was to capture 274 young people’s voices in disadvantaged communities in Kenya, Turkey, Pakistan, and Brazil through participatory research methods. Young people defined strategies in response to 4 adversity scenarios reflecting socioecological systems (young person, family, school, and community). Template analysis, underpinned by thematic design, was used to establish three broad themes of intrapersonal (self-management, cognitive re-appraisal, agency), interpersonal (social engagement, informal supports, formal supports), and religious resources. Proposed strategies were largely similar across the sites, with some contextual differences depending on the scenario (stressor) and cultural group. The findings support an ecological systems approach to resilience, which is consistent with the development of multimodal interventions for vulnerable youth and their families in disadvantaged communities in low- and middle-income countries.

四个中低收入国家的青年抗灾战略概念化

在年轻人的干预措施和服务的发展中，复原力的概念越来越有影响力，但是，关于如何在不同文化中，尤其是在低收入和中等收入国家的年轻人，如何构筑复原力战略的概念知之甚少。这项研究的目的是通过参与性研究方法，在肯尼亚，土耳其，巴基斯坦和巴西的弱势社区中捕捉274个年轻人的声音。年轻人针对反映社会生态系统（年轻人，家庭，学校和社区）的4种逆境情景定义了策略。以主题设计为基础的模板分析被用来建立三个广泛的主题：人际交往（自我管理，认知重新评估，代理），人际交往（社会参与，非正式支持，正式支持），和宗教资源。所建议的策略在各站点之间基本相似，但根据情况（压力源）和文化群体的不同，背景也有所不同。这些发现支持了一种生态系统的抵御能力方法，这与针对低收入和中等收入国家弱势社区中的脆弱青年及其家庭的多模式干预措施的发展是一致的。
