abstract = {Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are essential for
maintaining our healthcare system but are at risk for
developing mental health issues due to chronic occupational
stress. This can lead to a vicious cycle with extended sick
leave, increased workloads for colleagues, and strain on the
healthcare system. Therefore, preventive interventions
aiming at enhancing resilience - the maintenance of mental
health despite stress - are essential. Yet, identifying the
most impactful resilience factors has been challenging. To
explore the relationships between resilience factors,
stress, mental health, and work-related outcomes, we
conducted regularized partial correlation network analyses
focusing on self-care and self-compassion. Cross-sectional
data from HCPs in Germany were collected from June-July
2023. Analyses of 212 HCPs (age 41.63 [21-68] years;
$81.60\%$ women) revealed self-compassion as the most
important factor across all networks, while the importance
of self-care showed through individual connections to
crucial factors like mental health problems and work-life
balance. Work engagement, contrary to burnout, was closely
interrelated with resilience factors. In conclusion, despite
accounting for established evidence-based resilience
factors, self-compassion and self-care seem crucial in the
context of stress and mental health in HCPs. More research
is needed to validate the causal importance of self-care and
self-compassion.},
