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 socio-demographic 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. Socio-demographic characteristics and resilience attributes were analysed 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 socio-demographic factors (p < 0.05). Consequently, the hospitals studied need to adopt appropriate strategies to continuously improve healthcare professionals' resilience.
