Resilience is just one of the many mechanisms that man finds to overcome the adversities arising from modern life. The term originates from physics and is used to define the resistance of certain materials to shocks. In this case, it represents the capacity of the human being to overcome physical and psychological traumas, to resist and survive adversities, to rebuild his life in a positive way. This book aims to assist the understanding of the importance of resilience within the hospital context, enabling discussions among the nursing team that is constantly vulnerable during the care of cancer patients. The text is based on a master's research conducted in a large reference hospital in cancer treatment in Brazil, which enabled a rethinking of the care of oneself and of the other, after the results evidenced.
