Background and Objectives: Given the demanding nature of their work, military personnel are frequently exposed to stressful events and disasters, necessitating exceptional physical and mental resilience. Resilience within the military context is pivotal for effectively managing emergency situations. This study aims to identify factors affecting military resilience in emergencies and disasters. Methods: A qualitative systematic review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, covering the period from January 2000 to August 2023. To identify additional records, the reference lists of the included studies were examined. The quality assessment of the included studies was conducted using the JBI tool. Results: The review identified and incorporated 37 pertinent articles. The qualities of studies were acceptable. Through analysis, six primary themes emerged: self-efficacy, stress management, resilience, social-spiritual support networks, Adaptation processes, and Desirable activities. Notably, not all articles addressed each identified theme. Conclusion: This research highlights the crucial role of factors like self-efficacy, stress management, Resilience infrastructure, social-spiritual support networks, Adaptation processes, and Desirable activities in boosting the resilience of military personnel in emergencies and disasters. It also emphasizes the significance of interventions and support networks in helping individuals effectively overcome challenges and achieve positive outcomes in their lives. Moreover, Identifying and understanding other potential factors that affect military resilience is crucial for developing effective training programs to improve it.
