This study aims to determine the mediating effect of emotional exhaustion on the relationship between lateral violence in nursing and turnover intentions.
A cross-sectional survey.
This research project involved the enrollment of 314 nursing professionals from two tertiary medical facilities associated with academic institutions in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. To measure the variables, a series of self-administered questionnaires was used. The data were analysed using SPSS 25.
Lateral violence and emotional exhaustion were positively correlated with turnover intention. Emotional exhaustion partially mediated the relationship between lateral violence and turnover intention.
Emotional exhaustion serves as a partial mediator in the relationship between lateral violence and turnover intention. Reducing lateral violence and avoiding emotional exhaustion can help to reduce the turnover intention of nurses.
When developing targeted programs or policies aimed at decreasing nurses' turnover intention, it is important to consider the issue of lateral violence among nurses, as well as their negative emotions.
The study provides us with a more fine-grained understanding of the relationship between lateral violence among nurses and turnover intention. Insights to enhance nurse retention are also provided, which can support the development of future relevant policies and guidelines.
The study adhered to the STROBE guidelines.
No patient or public contribution.
