Abstract: Objective To explore the mediating effect of resilience between psychological distress and personality in nurses of psychiatric department. Methods A total of 192 nurses from one mental health center in Shandong Province were assessed with Big Five Inventory (BFI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 10) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Results The K10 score was 20.66±5.91; 80.7% of the nurses had psychological distress (K10 score≥16). The K10 score was positively correlated with neuroticism score (P<0.01), and negatively correlated with extroversion and conscientiousness and resilience scores (P<0.01). Resilience score was positively correlated with extroversion and conscientiousness scores (P<0.01), and negatively correlated with neuroticism score (P<0.01). Resilience partially mediated the relationship between psychological distress and neurotic personality, and the mediating effect accounted for 25.4% of the total effects. Conclusion Neurotic personality and resilience have a great impact on the psychological distress in nurses of psychiatric department; resilience is a partial mediator in neuroticism affecting psychological distress.
