Results: In this study, of 65 faculty members, 40 individuals (61.5%) were male and 15 individuals (38.5%) were female. The mean age and working experience of the faculty members were 42.05 ± 10.37 and 13.77 ± 10.10, respectively, and the mean of resilience and occupational stress were 64.80 ± 14.27 and 91.41 ± 20.3. Using Pearson correlation coefficient, there was a significant and reverse correlation between resilience and occupational stress (P = 0.016, r = -0.297).
