Mental health constitutes a fundamental component of individual, social, and economic well-being; however, healthcare professionals are frequently exposed to work-related stressors that may adversely impact their mental health, overall well-being, and professional performance. In Hungary, among healthcare professions, the health visitor profession stands out as a nationally unique role, practised exclusively by women. These women are specialized healthcare professionals with a higher education degree who provide preventive services to families, mothers, infants, and children. Their responsibilities include prenatal care, breastfeeding support, monitoring child development, promoting healthy lifestyles, psychosocial counselling, and coordinating with other healthcare providers. This study aimed to assess the resilience of Hungarian health visitors and the factors influencing it. Resilience, as a protective factor, encompasses personality traits that facilitate successful adaptation and adaptive coping under vulnerable conditions, thereby reducing the negative effects of stress. Data were collected using a paper-and-pencil questionnaire. The sample included 152 women, mostly aged 40–59 (56.6%), with the largest group (34.2%) having over 25 years of work experience. During data analysis, relevant variable frequencies were examined, and differences between groups were tested using the Chi-square test at a 5% significance level. Results showed that the average resilience score was 31.6 (median = 32, mode = 30, SD = 4.91), with 52.6% of participants scoring at or above the median. These findings highlight the importance of stress management and resiliencebuilding programmes to enhance health visitors’ well-being and support their professional performance.
