How Are Individual Resilience, Organizational Resilience, Feelings of Security, and the Coping Strategies of Multidisciplinary Teams Associated with Each Other in the Northern Israeli Conflict Zone During the Swords of Iron War? [Title Slide]
Abstract
Background: This study examined the response of multidisciplinary medical teams in Israel's healthcare system during the Israel-Gaza War that began on October 7, 2023, focusing on the Haifa and Western Galilee district. The research analyzed the relationships between personal and organizational resilience and their impact on medical team functioning across diverse populations.
Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between employees' personal and organizational resilience and their effects on performance during crisis. It sought to identify factors influencing resilience and performance, and to develop an intervention program for adaptation and crisis management.
Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was administered, incorporating scales to assess feelings of danger, personal resilience, organizational resilience, national resilience, and performance levels during wartime. Demographic data were also collected.
Results: The study included 1500 medical team members (56% nurses, 19% health professionals, 18% administrative staff, 7% physicians). Despite 65% reporting moderate to high stress levels and 53% feeling their lives were in danger, 67% viewed themselves as resilient and 86% remained optimistic. Organizational resilience was high, with 89% feeling a sense of belonging and 85% perceiving effective management. Both personal and organizational resilience remained robust during wartime (p < 0.001). Family and organizational support significantly impacted absenteeism (p < 0.002).
Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of family and organizational support in fostering resilience and reducing absenteeism during crises. This research provides insights for ongoing crisis management and strategies to enhance personal and organizational resilience.
Recommendations: Develop additional employee support programs, maintain organizational belonging, and bolster family support systems to improve overall resilience and crisis coping abilities.
