AbstractBackground: The emotional health of healthcare workers (HCWs) is impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Several studies have shown that HCWs experienced symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trouble sleeping throughout this epidemic. Still, not much research has examined their capacity to withstand this epidemic. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the resilience of healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: This study uses observational analytical approaches and is cross-sectional in nature. The responders were HCWs from Imam Khomeini and Dr. Masih Daneshvar hospitals (physicians, nurses, and other paramedics). Tehran, Iran has two sizable and important reference hospitals for COVID-19 patients. Data were gathered using an online survey that incorporated the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CR-RISC) between early December 2020 and early March 2021. Results: With an average age of 39.22 years, there were 243 responses (90 men, or 63.9%, and 36.1%, or 153 women). The resilience of the respondents had a mean score of 65. The length of time spent working in the COVID-19 ward did not significantly affect resilience. Conclusions: The respondent's resilience might nevertheless be planned for as a significant psychological indicator to increase, even though its mean value of 65 was not low. In conclusion, it is critical that HCWs be resilient.en
