Participants completed demographic, perceived stress, stress coping strategies, and PTG questionnaires. Multiple linear regression was employed to identify the predictors of perceived stress and PTG. Results The overall score of perceived stress was calculated 30.55 (6.18). The problemâoriented strategy was the most common stress coping by healthcare professionals (52.66 (8.72)). Also, the total score of PTG was calculated at 45.72 (30.42). Perceived stress, stress coping strategies (except problemâoriented), and PTG scores were significantly different between hospital and health centres participants (pâvalue <â0.05). Previous experience in critical situations, crisisârelated course, degree, age, department, and stress coping strategies were related to the stress level.
