IntroductionNurses experience high job stress due to the characteristics of nursing work such as work shifts and unpredictable changes in the patient's condition. Frequent and extensive changes in hospitals can hurt nurses and cause fatigue due to change, which has been largely neglected and less researched. The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating role of resilience in the relationship between job stress and job engagement in nurses of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan. MethodThe current research method was descriptive survey-correlation research. The statistical population consisted of 1700 nurses of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan city, who were selected based on the Mont Carlo method and 200 people (60 men and 140 women) were selected by available sampling. Questionnaires of HSE occupational stress, resilience and job engagement were implemented. ResultsUsing SPSS-24 software data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient method and simple regression simultaneously. The results showed that the correlation coefficient between job stress and job engagement at a high level of resilience (p < 0.01, r = -0.28) is lower than the correlation coefficient between job stress and job engagement at a low level of resilience. (p > 0.01, r = - 0.38). DiscussionDespite the fact that job stress is an important factor in reducing job engagement, but, increasing job stress cannot reduce job engagement much in employees with high resilience.
