The Resilience of Primary Healthcare Professionals: A Systematic Review Across Various Medical Specialties: Physiotherapist, nurse, and radiologist in emergencies

Abstract

Resilience is a critical attribute for primary healthcare professionals, particularly physiotherapists, nurses, and radiologists, who work under high-stress conditions in emergency settings. This systematic review examines resilience in these three medical specialties, focusing on their unique challenges and strategies to cope with occupational stress. The review highlights key resilience factors, such as psychological well-being, adaptability, and teamwork, and underscores the significance of training and support systems in enhancing these professionals' ability to manage stress effectively. Challenges, including rapid decision-making, communication barriers, role ambiguity, and emotional labor, are addressed. Strategies for resilience-building, including training programs, mentorship, and organizational interventions, are explored. The study emphasizes the need for tailored resilience-enhancing strategies and policies that address systemic workplace issues to sustain healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes. Future research should focus on evidence-based interventions and policies that foster resilience in healthcare professionals across various specialties and work environments.
