The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha method and its validity was confirmed using convergent validity. For data analysis, structural equation modeling and PLS software have been used.
Results: The results show that at the 95% confidence level, Fear of COVID-19 has a negative and significant effect on nurses' psychological well- being (P < 0.05; β = -0.509) and resilience has a moderating role in relation to Fear of COVID- 19 and psychological well- being (P < 0.05; β = -0.225).
Conclusion: According to the findings, it can be said that fear of Covid- 19 played a significant role in reducing the psychological well- being of nurses and, nurses with higher resilience showed less psychological well- being than nurses with lower resilience.
