Abstract

This study aims to describe how teachers at Elementary School 18 in North Indralaya implement resilience in dealing with work pressure. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation. Resilience is understood as the ability to regulate emotions, maintain self-confidence, implement constructive coping strategies, and utilize social support. Based on initial assumptions, teachers with stronger resilience tend to be able to suppress the negative impacts of stress even when facing high work demands. Personal factors such as optimism and emotional management, as well as environmental factors such as support from colleagues, contribute to strengthening this resilience. The research results are expected to form the basis for developing programs to improve the well-being of educators.
