Abstract	BackgroundOn the frontlines of the pandemic, healthcare providers (HCPs) are overworked, anxious, and fearful. Yet, despite all the fear and anxiety, the facilitation of protective resilience and psychological well-being has become crucial to ensure that minimal intangible psychological losses are incurred due to the pandemic.AimThe present study aimed to examine the psychological resiliency, state anxiety, trait anxiety, and psychological well-being of frontline HCPs during the COVID-19 and to determine the association among resiliency, state-trait anxiety, and psychological well-being and their links with demographic and workplace factors.Design and SettingsA cross-sectional study concerning frontline HCPs was conducted at two of the largest hospitals in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia.ResultsA significant inverse correlation was determined between resilience and state anxiety (r=−0.417, p<0.05) and between resilience and trait anxiety (r=−0.536, p<0.05). Likewise, a positive intermediate correlation between resilience and the age of the individual (r=0.263, p<0.05) and a weak positive correlation with years of experience (r=0.211, p<0.05) were established. Also, the resilience score of volunteer workers (50.9) was lower than that of regular staff (66.8) (p=0.028).ConclusionResilience is a crucial factor affecting the training of individuals, which will further promote their work output and mental health capacity, thus improving their overall concept of survival in adversity.
