Background: This study determines the relationship between resilience, depression, stress and anxiety among professional nurses who are frontline workers.
Methodology: The study was conducted among nurses working in Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) Ikeja, Lagos State. The Connor-Davidson Resilience scale and Depression, Anxiety and Stress questionnaire administered to 360 nurses. Simple frequency, mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation were used for the analysis.
Results: The majority (90%) of the respondents was female and about two thirds of them were married. Overall summarized scores for the level of anxiety, depression and stress were 46.6%, 38.5% and 37.7% respectively. Resilience had statistically significant positive correlation with years of experience (r=0.160, p=0.002); negatively significant with stress (r = -0.281, p< 0.001) and negatively significant with anxiety (r = -0.210, p < 0.001). Depression was negatively significant with years of experience (r = 0.132, p = 0.013) while stress was positively significant with depression (r = 0.764, p< 0.001) and anxiety (r = 0.751, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: There is a need to organize programmes that will improve the resilience of professional nurses should be organized to reduce the effects of stress, anxiety and depression among nurses.
