Abstract
Abstract: Background: Healthcare systems rely heavily on the resilience and adaptive leadership of nurse managers, especially in times of crisis and rapid change. These leaders play a pivotal role in maintaining care quality, staff well-being, and operational continuity. Aim: examine the relation between resilience and adaptive leadership among nurse managers. Design: A descriptive, correlational cross-sectional study design was employed in the present study. Setting: study conducted in various private and public hospitals situated within Greater Cairo, Egypt. Subjects: A convenience sampling technique utilized for participant recruitment in the forementioned study setting (n=263). Data collection: Data collected using a structured, self-administered online questionnaire, which consisted of three parts as: Part I: Socio-demographic and Professional Characteristics Questionnaire, Part II: The Resilience Assessment Questionnaire (RAQ), and Part III: The Adaptive Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ). Results: The majority of nurse managers exhibited a moderate overall level of resilience and nurse managers had moderately high levels of adaptive leadership. Conclusion: there was significant positive correlation (r = 0.68, p < 0.001) between resilience and adaptive leadership. Recommendations: strengthen resilience training programs for nurse managers. Further, incorporating adaptive leadership frameworks into nurse manager onboarding and continuing education
