Determining the level of resilience amongst critical care transport professionals in a fixed-wing air ambulance environment

2026Open accessUniversity of Pretoria

Abstract

The findings suggest that participants generally demonstrated a high level of resilience. Mean scores on the CD-RISC subscales ranged from 6.52 to 22.81, with standard deviations ranging from 1.07 to 3.44. No significant difference in resilience levels was observed between teams comprising mixed professions and those of the same profession. However, optimism was more pronounced in mixed-profession teams than in same-profession teams.
