The association between perceived stress and resilience among medical staff during public health emergencies: mediating effect of self-efficacy

Medical staff exhibited high levels of perceived stress, while their self-efficacy and resilience were at a middle level during public health emergencies. Given the complete mediating effect of self-efficacy, it is crucial to incorporate self-efficacy into interventions designed to improve medical staff's resilience. Therefore, the implementation of interventions that can enhance self-efficacy may help to improve the resilience levels of medical staff in high-pressure environments, thus promoting their psychological adaptation.
