The study aimed to adopt a tool and measure current resilience levels and determine the association of work‐related characteristics on resilience among Sri Lankan nurses. Methods Translated, culturally adapted and validated Resilience at Work Scale‐ Sinhala version (RAW‐S) was used to measure resilience levels in a sample of 855 government nurses from a health district. The mean RAW‐S scores were calculated and appropriate cut off points were used to determine the prevalence of ‘high’, ‘moderate’ and ‘low’ resilience. Chi square test was used to determine the associations. Results The overall mean RAW‐S score was 69.6 (95% CI = 68.9–70.3) and the scores ranged from 28.5 to 90.3. Only 28.4% (95% CI = 25.4–31.6) of nurses showed ‘high’ level of resilience at work, while 55.6% (95% CI = 52.1–58.9) & 16.0% (95% CI = 13.7–18.7) had shown ‘moderate’ and ‘low’ levels of resilience respectively.
