Factors Associated With Resilience Among Healthcare Professionals During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction A growing body of evidence suggests that resilience is more conducive to healthcare professionals (HCPs) adaptation and growth in the face of threats, pandemics, or other major stressful events. We aimed to measure the resilience and identify influencing factors of resilience among HCPs...

description Introduction A growing body of evidence suggests that resilience is more conducive to healthcare professionals (HCPs) adaptation and growth in the face of threats, pandemics, or other major stressful events. We aimed to measure the resilience and identify influencing factors of resilience among HCPs who have been working during the COVID-19 pandemic in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methodology A cross-sectional study was performed between November 2020 and January 2021 in Jeddah. The study involved four government hospitals using an electronic self-administered questionnaire, which consisted of sociodemographic questions, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Results Of the 413 participants considered in this study, only 352 were eligible. The mean resilience score of HCPs was 26±6.4. The results show significant differences across age, years of work experience, nationality, type of shift, and perceived stress score. The general linear regression model indicated that the sample population's type of shift and perceived stress score (p-value = <0.001) are statistically associated with the resilience score. Conclusion Attention should be paid to critical variables associated with resilience, which could help allocate scarce resources to support HCPs and retain them in the workforce.
