  abstract = {{H}ealth crises, such as the {COVID}-19 pandemic, challenge health systems in demonstrating resilience-the ability to cope with change, manage challenges, and adapt in order to retain their effectiveness. {U}nderstanding how such challenges affect and produce reactions in those involved in this response is extremely important. {T}his study evaluated resilience in three referral hospitals in the city of {R}ecife, {P}ernambuco, {B}razil-one public, one private, and one philanthropic hospital-by examining the coping activities adopted by the nursing staff working on the {COVID}-19 frontline. {A} multiple case study was carried out, using a qualitative approach, triangulating data from direct observations, document analysis, and interviews with 21 nursing professionals working in management and care provision. {D}ata were collected from {A}pril to {O}ctober 2020. {T}he interviews were transcribed and analyzed based on the resilience categories defined by {B}lanchet (2017): absorption capacity, adaptive capacity, and transformative capacity. {F}our themes were considered relevant to the objectives of this study: institutional support, access to personal protective equipment ({PPE}), work relationships, and fear and mental health. {A}daptive capacity was demonstrated concerning the four themes analyzed, absorption capacity was demonstrated in two themes, and no transformative capacity was identified. {T}he study highlighted that the health crisis was challenging for all the hospitals studied, regardless of their legal-administrative status. {N}o differences were observed among them in terms of resilience.},
