Description
Georgia-Nektaria Porfyri and co-authors survey hope and resilience among Greek health workers in a 2025 study. Burnout and chronic stress wear down the staff hospitals depend on, and inner resources such as optimism may buffer that strain. The team surveyed 175 professionals at one Athens general hospital.
Doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, ward staff, and other health workers, aged 26 to 65, completed standard scales for life orientation and resilience. Scores for both outlook and resilience landed in the moderate range. Knowing where staff stand on these measures helps managers design support that fits, rather than guessing what exhausted teams need.
