So, nurturing capabilities such as resilience to deal with the consequences or preventing them can be helpful in this context. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of resilience training on the level of stress and psychological well-being of nurses.

The experimental group underwent resilience training program according to Henderson's theory for 8 sessions of 90 minutes. The control group received no intervention.
