situations are not limited only to the workplace but even to the daily life of all citizens; In this sense, the successful

physical and mental well-being and therefore the quality of service provided. Distribute the professionals according to
social-labor variables; Determine the levels of resilience. A quantitative, correlational, non-experimental research was
carried out. The population was constituted by the health personnel that worked in the PICU and the sample by 33

than 90% had at least more than 2 years of seniority. 45.5% presented average levels of resilience
