ABSTRACT
Job burnout is a decrease in a person’s ability to adjust with internal and external stressors of the organization. However, resilience is the ability to withstand adversity and bounce back from difficult life events. The main purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between resilience and burnout among health staff in Afghan-Japan Hospital, the first dedicated hospital for COVID-19 in Afghanistan. Descriptive-correlational design was used in this study. All the doctors and nurses working in Afghan-Japan hospital constituted the population of the study and for data collection, the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale (2003) and the Maslach Burnout inventory (MBI) are applied. The results showed that the health staff of the Afghan-Japan Hospital had low resilience and moderate and severe burnout in the dimensions of job burnout. There was also a significant negative relationship between resilience and burnout (r= -0.859, P = 0.000). As a result, it can be claimed that resilience is a good predictor of burnout and managers can use to reduce the rate of burnout of the health staff by resilience enhancement programs.
