Data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Result: The results analysis three primary themes: managing work-life balance, resilience-enabling factors (such as compassion and adaptability), and barriers to resilience, including administrative burdens and staffing shortages. Conslusion: These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to foster resilience among nurses, supporting their mental health and the quality of patient care.
