  • Purpose
    This study was conducted to develop a resilience training program for nurses and test its effects.
  • Methods
    A non-equivalent experimental group and a control group pretest-posttest study design was used with 56 participating nurses (28 nurses in the experimental group and 28 nurses in the control group). The resilience training program was provided to participants for 4 weeks from August 12 to September 4, 2013. Each session was scheduled for two hours per week. Participants completed the tools for resilience, positive affect, and perceived stress assessment. Data were analyzed using χ2 test, Independent t-test, and 2*2 repeated measures multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) with the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program.
  • Results
    Application of the resilience training program significantly helped nurses enhance their resilience and positive affect to workplace adversity, and reduce their perceived stress. There were significant positive differences for these variables in the experimental group compared to the control group.
  • Conclusion
    The findings indicate that the resilience training program for nurses is effective and can be used as an intervention for a stress management guide for nurses.
  • Key Words: Intervention studies; Nurses; Resilience; Stress
