Effects of Workplace Violence on Emergency Nurses’ Health: A Mediating and Moderating Role of Occupational Stress and the Work Environment

A moderated mediation model was developed, with occupational stress mediating the impact of workplace violence on the health of emergency nurses. The findings suggest the need for other measures to reduce the impact of workplace violence on emergency nurses' health, as well as interventions to reduce occupational stress. The combined effects of the work environment and occupational stress emphasize the need for comprehensive interventions to create a supportive workplace for nurses, thereby reducing the fit between emergency nurses and a poor working environment.
