Factors Affecting Physician Resilience on the Frontlines of Disasters

Abstract

Physician resilience in disaster environments is shaped by multiple factors, including the extreme physical, emotional, and ethical challenges they face. Comprehensive disaster preparedness training, mental health support, and strong leadership are essential in equipping physicians with the skills and resources needed to manage stress and uncertainty. Supportive social networks and interdisciplinary collaboration further strengthen resilience, allowing healthcare professionals to continue delivering critical care. Organizational interventions, such as effective disaster planning, are crucial in fostering a resilient healthcare workforce. Addressing these key factors is vital for ensuring sustained, high-quality healthcare delivery during crises
