Investigating the Relationship between Professional Commitment and Resilience of Healthcare Personnel during the COVID-19 Epidemic Crisis in Healthcare Centers in Mashhad

Resilience and professional commitment are crucial factors in an individual's ability to maintain biological and psychological balance in stressful professional situations, especially in the medical field. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous psychological challenges to healthcare personnel working in active COVID-19 centers, leading to symptoms of fear, anxiety, depression, and burnout. This study aims to examine the levels of resilience and professional commitment among healthcare workers in COVID-19 centers and their relationship.

This cross-sectional-analytical study was conducted in 2019 on the care workers working in the COVID-19 centers of Mashhad. The link of the standard electronic questionnaire of Davidson's resilience and Klikman's and Henning's professional commitment was published in the virtual Telegram groups of the personnel of the Covid centers in Mashhad, and available sampling was done and the data was analyzed by SPSS-20 software.

The study included 220 participants with an average age of 36.85±8.69 and an average work experience of 11.7±8.36 years. The average score for professional commitment was 52.15±7.35, indicating high professional commitment, while the average resilience score was 69.05±13.04, indicating high resilience. There was a positive and significant correlation between professional commitment and resilience (r=0.379, sig= 0.0001).

The resilience and professional commitment of COVID-19 center employees in Mashhad are in a good state, with a positive and significant relationship between the two. Strengthening the resilience of medical staff during crises may enhance their professional commitment.
