Abstract:

The hospital environment is characterised by stressful situations and constant pressures. Resilience is essential for healthcare professionals to cope with these challenges and maintain their well-being and effectiveness. This study aims to assess the level of resilience and its relationship with sociodemographic factors among healthcare professionals working in hospitals in the Algerian province of Batna. To this end, a cross-sectional survey based on an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire (Resilience Scale-25) was conducted in healthcare settings of Batna-Algeria. Sociodemographic characteristics and resilience attributes were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate, on the one hand, a low level of resilience among healthcare professionals (mean RS-25 score = 115.63) and, on the other, a significant relationship between resilience and sociodemographic factors (p <0.05). Consequently, the hospitals studied need to adopt appropriate strategies to continuously improve healthcare professionals' resilience.
