Introduction: The importance of coping strategies and the role of religion as indicators in the face of problems and adversity have been emphasized in numerous studies. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between religious coping and the resilience of nurses in the emergency department of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical correlational study. All nurses working in the emergency departments of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences were enrolled in the study by the census. In this study, three questionnaires including a checklist of personal and job characteristics, a resilience questionnaire (Connor and Davidson), and a questionnaire of coping strategies of Aflak Sear and Coleman were used. All data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 25. The significance level was considered p> 0.05.
Results: The nurses participating in the study ranged in age from 21 to 59 years with a mean and standard deviation of 4 ± 34 ± 7.9. Job interest (p = 0.021) and work experience (p = 0.007) had statistically significant differences between different levels of religious confrontation. Job interest (p = 0.000) and native status (p = 0.001) have statistically significant differences between different levels of resilience. Resilience and most of its components have a significant correlation with religious confrontation and its components (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Spirituality and the use of religious coping methods can increase the potential for adaptability and a sense of support from a higher power and ultimately increase nurses' resilience.
