Description
Marie Charlotte Mollet and co-authors surveyed 184 nurses in France in 2026 on how inner resources relate to stress at work. They measured psychological capital — hope, confidence, and resilience — plus how well nurses recover after shifts and how much recovery they need. The survey ran online in early 2023. Statistical models tested whether recovery sits between resources and stress.
Stronger inner resources went with better recovery and less need for it. Need for recovery, in turn, tracked strongly with felt stress, while resources had no direct link to stress. The authors say recovery-friendly schedules matter as much as building inner strength. Nurse well-being programs should work on both fronts at once.
