dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Nurses are the most significant part of the health care delivery system. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare system is one of the institutions that operate under the most challenging conditions during this outbreak. An increase in demands of caring COVID-19 patients resulted in understaffing problem and high workload in health organization. It is irrefutable that nurses all over the world are working under tremendous stress which could affect their quality of working life, its dimensions and resilience. Therefore, it is critical that each healthcare organization evaluate nurses' quality of working life and resilience, both from the individual and the healthcare systems levels, in order to design and initiate a supportive system to enhance their resilience and promote their QoWL in such a stressful pandemic situation. Aim: To measure the quality of working life and resilience among nurses in pediatric departments. Methodology: A quantitative crosssectional study approach to assess the quality of working life (QoWL), its subscale, and resilience among nurses working in four pediatric departments in the Centro Hospitalar Universitario do Algarve (CHUA), Faro, using the Work-Related Quality of Life (WRQoL) Scale and Measuring State Resilience Scale (Chok C. Hiew). Result: Most of nurses experienced low QoWL, low level of QoWL in its six-subscales, and also had moderate resilience state. Conclusion: Nurses experienced low QoWL and moderate resilience state. Therefore, to reevaluate hospital’s policy and initiate supportive program to improve nurses QoWL and resilience should be considered. Further study to investigate causes of low QoWL is needed.pt_PT
