Description
Sambuu Ganchuluun and co-authors surveyed Japanese nurses nationwide in 2026 on whether personal resilience protects professional autonomy after the pandemic. Nurses rated their independent judgment lower when caring for COVID-19 patients, and the study asked if resilience cushions that drop.
From June to September 2024, 483 nurses at 18 hospitals scored their autonomy for COVID and non-COVID care on a 28-item scale and resilience on a 10-item scale. Autonomy was significantly lower in the COVID setting across all five factors, yet higher resilience went with higher autonomy in both settings. For COVID care, resilience still predicted three higher-order factors, performance, abstract judgment, and independent judgment, even after accounting for non-COVID autonomy. The authors suggest building nurses' resilience may defend self-directed practice in both routine and high-demand care.
