Abstract
In recent years, a new approach to safety called resilience engineering has attracted attention. Resilience means the elasticity and flexibility of objects and systems, but Hollnagel has proposed safety concepts called Safety-Ⅰ and Safety-Ⅱ to ensure the safety of socio-technical systems. The purpose of this article is to review the ideas of Safety-I and Safety-II in resilience research, while considering resilience engineering, and to examine the resilience of nurses in the medical field. Regarding resilience engineering, it has been pointed out that it is related to organizational culture, and it will be necessary to create a mechanism to instill the efforts of resilience engineering in organizations (or person).
