Introduction: Conflict is inevitable in high-tension healthcare environments, and its effective management is crucial for maintaining optimal performance of nursing teams. Given the role of resilience as a psychological capacity for adapting to difficult conditions, this study aimed to determine the relationship between resilience and conflict management styles among nurses.
Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 2025 on 240 nurses working in hospitals affiliated with Golestan University of Medical Sciences in Gonbad-e Kavous. Stratified random sampling with proportional allocation was employed. Data were collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II (ROCI-II). Analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, employing Pearson correlation and ANOVA tests.
Results: The mean resilience score of participants was 71.52±14.38, and the mean total conflict management score was 92.05±17.08. A significant but weak correlation was observed between total resilience score and total conflict management styles score (r=0.137, p=0.034). Specifically, this relationship was positive and significant with dominating (p=0.041), compromising (p=0.028), and integrating (p=0.024) styles, but no significant relationship was found with avoiding and obliging styles. None of the demographic variables showed a statistically significant association with resilience scores.
Conclusion: The results indicated that resilience has a positive and significant relationship with dominating, compromising, and integrating conflict management styles. Given the weak nature of this relationship, implementing integrated organizational interventions that simultaneously enhance resilience and provide practical training in constructive conflict management styles particularly integrating and compromising is recommended to reduce destructive conflicts and improve care quality.
