Objective: To identify scores or levels of resilience among health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and their relationship with other variables in the scientific literature. Methods: This study presents an integrative literature review using the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Medline via PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The descriptors used were “Psychological Resilience” and “Health Personnel” with the Boolean operator “AND”. The review included articles published between January 2020 and February 2023 that analyzed data during the pandemic period. Results: The bibliographic search resulted in 410 articles, from which 16 publications were selected. Half of the studies indicated moderate resilience among health professionals. Low scores or levels of resilience correlated with negative feelings such as burnout, work-related exhaustion, depression, anxiety, stress, and secondary traumatic stress. High scores, on the other hand, correlated with positive feelings, such as satisfaction with compassion, well-being, quality of life, professional achievement and coping with adverse situations. Conclusion: The study was able to identify levels of resilience. Health professionals have moderately adapted to the adverse situations imposed by the pandemic. High scores are positively associated with good living and health conditions, professional achievement and coping with adverse situations.
