In healthcare institutions, valuing the human resource is of utmost importance for healthcare professionals working under challenging working conditions. The significance placed on human resource is regarded as a critical factor for institutions to remain competitive and enhance the quality of patient care. The high level of psychological capital (psychological capital) among employees is also crucial in this context. Psychological capital, unlike other forms of capital, is a multifaceted concept that addresses individuals comprehensively. Its aim is to increase individuals' psychological resilience, enhance their emotional intelligence, and encourage them to exhibit positive behaviors.
The healthcare sector is inherently a critical and stressful work environment. The decisions made and actions taken by healthcare professionals can directly impact the lives of patients. Therefore, healthcare professionals carry significant responsibilities. The stress experienced by employees in the workplace can affect their mental and emotional well-being. The ability to cope with such challenges necessitates healthcare professionals to be resilient and psychologically strong. A high level of psychological capital assists employees in performing their tasks more effectively. Moreover, it instills them with the self-confidence to excel in their duties and enables them to handle challenges in a more constructive manner. Consequently, this empowers healthcare professionals to establish better communication with patients, cope with stressful situations more effectively, and engage in more efficient teamwork. Enhancing the psychological capital of hospital staff not only provides a competitive advantage for institutions but also contributes to ensuring that patients receive better healthcare services. Therefore, healthcare institutions should develop various strategies to enhance the psychological capital of their employees and harness this essential resource
