BONUS: Resilience Among Healthcare Staff

Nursing and direct care staff face significant psychological and
physical challenges, including high workloads, emotional labour,
and staff shortages, which increase the risk of burnout and
stress-related conditions. Resilience is a protective factor that
mitigates these effects. This study evaluated the efficacy of a
28-day digital resilience training programme tailored to the needs
of nursing and direct care staff. One hundred twenty participants
working in German healthcare settings were randomly assigned to an
experimental group or a waitlist control group. Experimental group
participants received a programme consisting of twice-daily
video-based exercises, reflections, and relaxation activities over
four weeks. Outcomes were assessed at baseline (T1),
post-intervention (T2), and three months follow-up (T3). Resilience
(primary outcome) was measured using the Resilience Scale, and
perceived stress (secondary outcome) was measured using the
Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ). Compared to the control
group, experimental group participants demonstrated significant
improvements in resilience from T1 to T3 (p
