In the modern world, in difficult times, it is increasingly difficult for nurses to cope with physical and psychological load, to endure stress and traumatic events. Medical workers of cancer centers and departments, in particular nurses, experience especially great psychological pressure and emotional burnout. This is due to the specifics of their work, the requirements for professional competence and the frequent deaths among patients due to oncological complications.

It should be noted that in order to effectively combat stress, solve difficult tasks and recover from secondary injuries, it is necessary to have not only stress resistance, but also resistance or psychological stability. Therefore, this article is devoted to the phenomenon of resistance and the problem of developing psychological stability in cancer nurses. The paper describes and visually represents recommended strategies for the development of this characteristic.

In addition, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was used to determine and compare the level of resistance in young and middle-aged oncological nurses. According to the results of the study, there is a general trend: a slight predominance of a high level of resistance over the average. There are no low rates among the participants. At the same time, no one scored 90 or higher, which means that nurses should pay attention to strategies for developing resilience.
