Emotional Blackmail and Depression Among Taiwanese Nurses: A Cross‐Sectional Study Using the Stress Process Model With Coping Strategies as Mediator and Social Support as Moderator
The present study addresses an underexplored workplace issue-emotional blackmail-and its impact on nurses' mental health. Using the Stress Process Model, it highlights how coping and social support influence outcomes. Findings support the development of targeted interventions such as coping-skills training and context-specific support. This research informs mental health nurses and managers on recognizing and addressing subtle interpersonal stressors that affect staff well-being in clinical settings.
