Introduction: Nursing professionals have faced the COVID-19 pandemic and health crisis on the front lines. Caught without technical and material readiness, as well as without previous experience, they resorted to using their own resources such as self-esteem and self-efficacy to raise their performance and uphold their commitment to public health. It has been reported that one third of the 37,000 nurses working in Peru contracted COVID-19, and approximately 180 died from the virus. Objectives: Measure the influence of personal resources on engagement among professional nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: Cross-sectional explanatory correlational research from a sample of 387 Peruvian nursing professionals. A descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed. IBM SPSS Statistics V/26 software was used.Results: The results showed highly significant and positive correlations between the variables self-efficacy, self-esteem and engagement. Likewise, predictive values of more than 50% of personal resources on engagement were identified. Conclusions: Professional nurses during the pandemic perceived themselves with an average level of self-efficacy, high levels of self-esteem, and a medium level of engagement. Personal resources, self-efficacy and self-esteem, were able to predict the engagement of professional nurses in the dimensions of vigor, dedication and absorption.

En el Perú se reportó que, durante los dos primeros años de la pandemia, de 37 mil profesionales de enfermería, casi un 1/3 contrajeron el virus y aproximadamente, 180 fallecieron a causa de la Covid-19.Objetivos: Medir el efecto de la autoestima y la autoeficacia sobre el compromiso engagement en profesionales de enfermería durante la pandemia de la Covid-19.Métodos: Investigación Explicativa Correlacional de corte transversal, en una muestra de 387 profesionales de enfermería peruanos. Se hizo un análisis estadístico descriptivo e inferencial de correlaciones y regresiones. Se usó el software SPSS26.Resultados: Los resultados mostraron correlaciones positivas y altamente significativas entre las variables, autoeficacia, autoestima y compromiso (engagement). Así mismo se identificó valores de predictibilidad superior al 50%, sobre el compromiso (engagement). Conclusiones: Los profesionales de enfermería durante la pandemia se percibieron con un nivel de autoeficacia promedio, altos niveles de autoestima y un nivel de compromiso medio (engagement). Los recursos personales, autoeficacia y autoestima, lograron predecir el compromiso (engagement) de los profesionales de enfermería en las dimensiones de vigor, dedicación y absorción.
