Resilience, Emotional Intelligence, and Mindfulness as Predictors of Psychological Well- being among Healthcare Professionals
Details
Occupational stress, emotional exhaustion, and demanding work environments are all
contributing to the increasing burden on the psychological well-being of healthcare personnel.
This study investigated the relationship between psychological well-being among healthcare
professionals and resilience, emotional intelligence, and mindfulness. Dr. Ryff's Psychological
Well-Being Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Schutte Emotional Intelligence
Scale, and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale were among the standardized instruments
filled out by 180 professionals (physicians, nurses, and allied staff) from public and private
hospitals in India. Psychological well-being and all three predictors showed significant
positive correlations, as indicated by correlational studies. The strongest predictors were
emotional intelligence and resilience, which together explained a significant amount of
variance in well-being ratings, as determined by multiple regression analysis (R² = .50, p <
.001). A smaller but still important contribution was made by mindfulness. These results
highlight the value of developing one's own psychological reserves to reduce stress and improve
well-being in medical environments. Designing mindfulness-based therapies, emotional skills
training, and events to foster resilience in frontline medical workers is directly impacted by the
study.
