Tóm tắt

Objectives: To determine the correlations between adversity quotient, resilience, and professional quality of life among nurses.

Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was \conducted among 110 nurses working at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from February to April 2025. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires, including the Adversity Response Profile to evaluate the adversity quotient, the Brief Resilience Scale to measure resilience, and the Professional Quality of Life scale version 5.0 to determine professional quality of life.

Results: The mean (standard deviation) score for the adversity quotient was 127 (21.6), with subscale scores for control, ownership, reach, and endurance at 29.5 (8.68), 30.2 (9.37), 32.5 (7.87), and 35.1 (7.64), respectively. The mean resilience score was 3.45 (0.7). Regarding professional quality of life, the mean scores for compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress were 39.4 (5.89), 26.9 (3.21), and 27.6 (5.57), respectively. Compassion satisfaction was found to be positively correlated with the adversity quotient (r = 0.395; p < 0.001) and resilience (r = 0.197; p = 0.039). Conversely, it was negatively correlated with burnout (r = -0.456$; p < 0.001) and secondary traumatic stress (r = -0.207; p = 0.03). Burnout showed a positive correlation with secondary traumatic stress (r = 0.593; p < 0.001) but a negative correlation with resilience (r = -0.2; p = 0.036). No significant correlations were observed between burnout or secondary traumatic stress and the adversity quotient, nor between resilience and the adversity quotient or secondary traumatic stress.

Conclusion: It is essential to develop interventions aimed at enhancing the adversity quotient and resilience, promoting compassion satisfaction, and mitigating burnout and secondary traumatic stress among nurses. Such efforts will contribute to improving work performance and the overall quality of patient care.
