Examining social support, psychological resilience and general wellbeing of newly employed nurses at quezon city general hospital

Caring professions, such as nursing, can be emotionally draining, resulting in high stress levels and career burnout. Nurses face multiple and complex challenges in a profession characterized by work intensification, increased accountability, and demands for high-quality patient care. Nurse stress and burnout are growing concerns, but resilience in nursing has been linked to positive outcomes such as improved care quality, enthusiasm, and commitment, as well as positive outcomes for patients. Research suggests that social support can significantly predict coping strategies (Kong et al., 2019). Nurses with a high level of social support demonstrate better social adaptation skills and use positive coping strategies to address challenges.

This study aimed to examine social support, psychological resilience, and general well-being among newly employed nurses at Quezon City General Hospital. The findings of this study will greatly benefit these nurses by providing insights into how social support and resilience can enhance their well-being and professional performance. The study employed a descriptive research method, collecting data through a survey questionnaire. Close-ended questions were used to gather actionable, qualitative data, which were then interpreted into visual insights such as graphs, charts, and concept maps. The researcher utilized the descriptive survey method within a quantitative research design.
