Abstract EN
Among nursing staff, the risk of experiencing violence, especially verbal aggression, is particularly relevant.
The present study, developed in the theoretical framework of the Job Demands-Resources model (JD-R), has two main aims: (a) to examine the association between verbal aggression and job burnout in both nurses and nurse’s aides and (b) to assess whether job content, social resources, and organizational resources lessen the negative impact of verbal aggression on burnout in the two professional groups.
The cross-sectional study uses a dataset that consists of 630 workers (522 nurses and 108 nurse’s aides) employed in emergency and medical units.
High associations were found between verbal aggression and job burnout in both professional groups.
Moderated hierarchical regressions showed that, among nurses, only the job content level resources moderated the effects of the verbal aggression on job burnout.
Among nurse’s aides, the opposite was found.
Some resources on the social and organizational levels but none of the job content level resources buffered the effects of verbal aggression on workers burnout.
The study highlights the crucial role of different types of resources in protecting nursing staff from the detrimental effects of verbal aggression on job burnout.
