The present study was conducted to investigate the status of resilience and health-promoting lifestyle, as well as the relationship between them, in the staff of Shahid Yahyanejad Hospital in Babol, northern Iran. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was performed during March-June ۲۰۲۱. Questionnaires related to resilience and health-promoting lifestyle were completed by individuals. The range of total resilience and health-promoting lifestyle scores were ۰-۱۰۰ and ۵۲-۲۰۸, respectively. Higher scores indicate better status of individuals.

The mean scores of resilience and health-promoting lifestyle among the staff were ۶۲.۷۵ and ۱۳۱.۶۹, respectively.
