The goal of this quasi-experimental clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of a culturally adapted, six-week resilience-building programme on psychological well-being and clinical performance in emergency nurses working in Palestinian hospitals. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the six-week resilience-building programme improve the psychological well-being of emergency nurses? Does the intervention enhance their Advanced Life Support (ALS) performance during a simulation-based assessment? Researchers will compare the intervention group receiving the resilience-building programme to a non-equivalent control group to see if the intervention leads to significant improvements in adaptive coping, mental health, and simulated clinical performance.
Participants will:
Participate in a six-week resilience-building programme integrating cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness, stress inoculation training, and mental rehearsal (intervention group only).
Complete validated questionnaires to measure psychological well-being and resilience before and after the study period.
Complete a standardized, high-fidelity simulated scenario to assess their Advanced Life Support (ALS) clinical performance.
None
Nurses who have participated in formal resilience or stress management training programs within the past year.
