Background: Emergency service workers experience extreme psychological stress as they are the first to respond to accidents and disasters, and this can deplete their quality of life. Resilience has a very significant part in enabling individuals to cope with stress effectively without detracting from physical and psychological well-being. The objective of this study was to evaluate the status of resilience and establish its correlation with quality of life and spiritual well-being between nurses working in In-hospital and pre-hospital emergency departments.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2024 across four hospitals affiliated with Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. A total of 212 emergency nurses were recruited using a cluster sampling approach. Each hospital was considered a cluster; four hospitals were randomly chosen, and data were collected from these hospitals through convenience sampling with proportional allocation based on job categories. Data collection instruments were a demographic questionnaire and three standardized questionnaires: Paloutzian and Ellison's Spiritual Health Questionnaire (20–120), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (0–100), and the WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire (0–100). Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney, t-test, Chi-square, Fisher's exact, Spearman correlation) in SPSS version 26.
Results: The response rate was 70%. The spiritual health of participants was moderate (mean = 72.28±15.85) as indicated by 96.7% of them. Mean scores of 83.89 ± 17.01 for quality of life and 58.72 ± 15.72 for resilience indicated moderate levels among the participants. Religious health scored higher than existential health. Environmental health had the highest mean among the quality-of-life facets; personal competence had the highest in resilience. There were positive correlations between quality of life, resilience, and spiritual health (P<0.001). Spiritual health and resilience had direct effects on individuals' quality of life.
Conclusion: Emergency nurses showed moderate levels of resilience, spiritual health, and quality of life, and these variables were positively correlated. Interventions that enhance spiritual health and promote resilience can be effective in their quality of life improvement.
