Background:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led many healthcare systems to become overwhelmed, and caused many frontline providers to feel fatigued and exhausted and experience severe emotional trauma. Nurses are the largest group of the world's frontline providers and it is clear that their resilience to threatening factors is critical in the current crisis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the level of resilience in nurses working in COVID-19 centers in Iran.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 250 nurses working at three COVID-19 centers in northwest Iran. The participants were recruited using simple random sampling. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was used to collect the data.
Results:
The highest level of resilience was related to spiritual influences, while the lowest was the trust in their instincts and tolerance of negative emotions. Furthermore, the level of resilience was significantly higher in nurses with better family support (p < 0.01).
Conclusion:
Given the role of resilience in nurses' mental health, it is vital to support the nursing staff in critical situations and improve their resilience by focusing particularly on psychological and spiritual support.
