This study aimed to classify coping strategies and resilience among nurses caring for COVID-19 patients using latent class analysis (LCA), and to compare variations across these subgroups. The pandemic of emerging infectious diseases is a traumatic stressor for frontline nurses, potentially leading to compassion fatigue. Effective coping strategies and resilience were essential for managing stress, but their nuanced classification and outcomes remain unclear. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from January to March 2022. Purposive and snowball sampling was utilized to recruit participants. A total of 215 clinical nurses (mean age 34. 59 years) were recruited. A three-class model showed the best fit: class 1 (35. 8 %) with proactive coping and high resilience, class 2 (29. 8 %) with mixed coping and high resilience, and class 3 (34. 4 %) with avoidance coping and low resilience. Compared to class 3, class 1 participants had lower stress (Odds Ratio (OR) = 0. 37, 95 % CI: 0. 143-0. 950, P = 0. 039), reduced risk of compassion fatigue (OR = 0. 29, 95 % CI: 1. 110-4. 536, P
