| Abstract | ||
| Nurses working at psychiatric hospital are in challenging and a potentially high stress. The impact of stress and professional challenges can lead to harmful impacts for those nurses as burnout or physical and mental health problems. Resilience is a positive adaptation to nurses‟ stress management ability and mental wellbeing. The aim of this study is to promote the resilience among nurses caring for patients with psychiatric disorders. Setting: the study was conducted at Tanta Mental Health Hospital. Subjects: 60 nurses were recruited in the study. Tool: it was composed of two main parts: part1: Socio Demographic characteristics and work experience data were developed by the researchers. Part 2: The Connor –Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) is a self-rated assessment of stress coping ability. The scale was developed based on concepts of hardiness, adaptation, and stress endurance. It is 25 items, all of which carry a 5-point range of responses. Total sum scores range between 0-100, with higher scores indicating greater perceived resilience. Result: There was a statistically significant difference between total means scores of (CD-RISC) scale pre and post-program (8.632 P < 0.05). The studied psychiatric nurses had moderate resilience mean score pre- program, while, the means score of resilience was high post education program. Conclusion: the resilience health education program is an effective tool in promoting the resilience. Recommendation: Further research should be collaborated about work environments is an important factor to improve resilience and promote an effective work atmosphere for the nurses and suggesting mentorship programs in order to improve resilience by improving positive and supportive professional relationships, emotional insight, life balance and spirituality. | ||
