<![CDATA[Background: Changes in hospital care systems require nurses to be highly adaptable in order to maintain quality and patient safety. Head nurses play a crucial role in influencing nurses’ adaptive responses, particularly through the characteristics of resilient leadership.Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between head nurses’ resilient leadership and nurses’ adaptive capacity in response to changes in the hospital service system.Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross sectional design. The sample consisted of 152 practicing nurses selected through purposive sampling based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using simple linear regression.Results: The results of the study indicate a significant relationship between resilient leadership by head nurses and nurses’ adaptive capacity in responding to changes in the hospital care system (R = 0.489; R² = 0.239; F = 47.178; pvalue= 0.001). The regression coefficients indicate that resilient leadership is associated with an increase in the adaptive capacity of practicing nurses (β = 0.489; pvalue= 0.001). Resilient leadership accounts for 23.9% of the variation in nurses’ adaptive capacity.Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of strengthening resilient leadership to enhance organizational readiness for change in hospital settings.]]>
