Results The total core competence of psychiatric nurses was (2.59 ± 0.66) points, at a moderate level. Psychological resilience were positively corrected with self- efficacy (r=0.454,P=0.000) and core competence (r=0.647, P=0.000), self-efficacy were positively corrected with core competence (r=0.487, P=0.000). Psychological resilience partially mediate the relationship between self- efficacy and core competence, It′s mediating effect was 44.8%. Conclusions Psychological resilience plays an important role to core competence in psychiatric nurses.Nursing managers should carry out related training, improve the psychological resilience and self-efficacy of psychiatric nurses, and comprehensively improve the level of core competencies.
