Abstract

As all nurses are aware, healthcare is experiencing a time of great change. This change can lead to stress, nurse vacancy rates, and burnout. However, the effects of stress can be mitigated by personal hardiness. This article presents an overview of hardiness, as well as the results of a qualitative study to describe hardiness in the workplace.
