Summary
Healthcare providers in rural settings show moderate resilience. Trauma-informed care exposure significantly boosts resilience, highlighting its importance for clinician well-being and organizational support.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Professionals
- Medical Education
- Rural Health
Background:
- Resilience is crucial in healthcare, as its absence correlates with adverse outcomes, burnout, and stress.
- Rural healthcare settings present unique stressors for providers.
- Examining resilience in rural healthcare providers is critical.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the resilience of healthcare providers in rural settings.
- To identify factors influencing resilience in this population.
Main Methods:
- Anonymous REDCap survey administered to medical students, residents, and attending physicians.
- Resilience measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC-10©).
Main Results:
- Overall moderate resilience scores (mean 30.64/40).
- No correlation found between resilience and age or years of service.
- Exposure to trauma-informed care significantly increased resilience scores (32.37 vs. 28.85, p=0.021).
- Resilience levels were comparable across students, residents, and attending physicians.
Conclusions:
- Lower resilience scores suggest a need for targeted support and interventions.
- Healthcare organizations should implement resilience training to support staff well-being.
- Developing trauma-informed healthcare environments is essential for enhancing provider resilience.

Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
