Description
Sheng Li and four colleagues survey nearly ten thousand nurses about workplace violence and how their coping habits bend its damage. Nurses meet aggression from patients and families more than almost any workforce, and wellbeing suffers. Their 2026 study questioned 9,466 nursing staff from over fifty hospitals in Lanzhou during February and March 2025. Hierarchical models tested whether a positive, problem-facing coping style shields wellbeing, and whether a negative, avoidant style deepens the harm.
Violence exposure predicted lower occupational wellbeing, though the raw link was weak, hinting at hidden suppression in the data. Positive coping strongly raised wellbeing and negative coping dragged it down. Under heavy violence, positive coping's protection faded while negative coping's harm grew stronger, a double squeeze on the most exposed staff. The authors urge tiered support: organisations should aim coping training and backup first at high-exposure units, rather than offering the same programme to everyone.
