Additionally, it revealed that gender traits have an impact on the interplay between stress and mental resilience. The study additionally discovered inequalities in stress, burnout, resilience, and social support based on demographic and professional factors. Conclusion: Our study has enhanced our comprehension of mental health concerns among healthcare workers and facilitated the identification of a complex pattern that takes into account detrimental factors, protective factors, and existing support systems in mental healthcare, thus offering comprehensive and insightful perspectives for future research.
