Abstract
The high-stress healthcare environment necessitates strategies to enhance psychological safety and interprofessional collaboration. This article critically explores the pivotal role of resilience in fostering well-being, work engagement and teamwork among healthcare professionals in Malaysia, Japan, and Thailand. Drawing on the DEAL PROGRAMME (Detect, Evaluate, Act, Learn) and other resilience-building strategies, the findings highlight the importance of integrating resilience initiatives at individual, organisational and systemic levels. The structured DEAL Programme demonstrates a scalable, effective framework for reducing stress, improving collaboration, and enhancing psychological safety. Insights from Japan and Thailand reveal valuable cultural adaptations, emphasising mindfulness, mentoring and student well-being. These insights emphasise the need for contextualised resilience strategies tailored to diverse healthcare contexts. This article has elucidated how resilience can create a more supportive and high-performing healthcare system. It calls for continued investment in resilience training to ensure sustainable healthcare environments that improve patient care and professional well-being.
