Background: With the increasing global focus on sustainability and its impact on
health and the environment, resilience is a vigorous process necessary for nursing
academic staff to overcome the challenges involved in sustainable education. Aim
of the study: To explore the relation between nursing academic staff resilience and
sustainable education. Subjects and Method: Using a descriptive correlational
research design, all available (194) nursing academic staff members at the Faculty
of Nursing, Tanta University, were involved in the study. Tool: Two tools were
utilized: Nursing Academic Staff Resilience questionnaire and the Unit-Based
Sustainability Assessment Tool. Results: Nearly two-thirds (69.6%) of the nursing
academic staff members had a high level of resilience, while nearly one-fifth
(21.1%) had a moderate level. In terms of sustainable education, more than forty
percent (41.2%) of the nursing academic staff had low perception levels for overall
sustainable education, while more than one-third (35.1%) had a high level.
Conclusion: A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between
the overall resilience and overall sustainability of nursing academic staff.
Recommendation: Universities support the integration of sustainability courses
into the curriculum, provide additional training for academic nursing staff about
sustainability, and encourage them to conduct research on sustainability,
accompanied by ample incentives to motivate their engagement.
