 During the Corona epidemic, the anxiety associated with contracting this disease can affect many aspects of a person's performance, such as job performance. Therefore, promotion and utilization of psychological capital such as psychological well-being and resilience play an important role in dealing with stressful situations. Based on this, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of the Corona anxiety on the ethical climate and psychological well-being of nurses in Ardestan Hospital with the mediation of resilience.

 This was an applied study in terms of purpose and it was descriptive and survey-based in terms of method.
