Workplace violence against nurses, job satisfaction, burnout, and patient safety in Chinese hospitals.
摘要:
Most nurses have experienced some form of workplace violence, which could lead to physical or psychological harm and reduced job performance. Previous studies have examined the effects of workplace violence on nurses' job satisfaction and patient safety, but there have been very few examinations of whether workplace violence affects patient safety through nurse job satisfaction and burnout. To investigate the relationships among workplace violence, nurse outcomes and patient safety. To explore whether nurse burnout and job satisfaction play mediating roles in the association of workplace violence and patient safety. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 23 hospitals in Guangdong province in China to collect data from 1502 nurses. A structural equation model design was tested with validated measurement instruments. Nurse-reported workplace violence was found to be associated directly with higher incidences of burnout, less job satisfaction, lower patient safety and more adverse events. Nurse burnout was associated directly with lower patient safety and more adverse events. Higher nurse job satisfaction was associated directly with higher patient safety. Nurse burnout and job satisfaction played mediating roles in workplace violence and patient safety. The model explained 19.8% and 35.0% of nurse-reported patient safety and adverse events, respectively. It is important for administrators to consider how to protect nurses from workplace violence, to improve their wellbeing at work, and to deliver safe patient care. When nurses experience workplace violence, it is necessary to pay attention to their emotional reactions and job attitudes, and to provide them with support in order to avoid adverse impacts on patient safety. Further practices and research initiatives to support nurses' safety at work are recommended.
