Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Management
- Psychology
Background:
- High stress levels among nurses negatively impact well-being and patient care quality.
- Resilience is crucial for healthcare professionals to manage demanding work environments.
- Existing literature indicates a need for effective interventions to support nurses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of a resiliency training program on nurses' stress levels and resilience.
- To determine if a structured intervention can improve psychological well-being in nursing staff.
- To provide evidence-based strategies for enhancing nurse resilience in clinical settings.
Main Methods:
- A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was employed.
- 137 nurses participated in the study conducted in Amman, Jordan.
- Data were collected before and one week after the intervention using standardized measures.
Main Results:
- Nurses in the intervention group showed statistically significant improvements in resilience (p < .001).
- A significant reduction in stress scores was observed in the intervention group (p < .001).
- Analysis of covariance confirmed significant differences between groups post-intervention.
Conclusions:
- The resiliency training program effectively enhanced resilience among nurses.
