Abstract:

Objective To investigate the impact of adversity quotient on psychological resilience among nurses experiencing workplace violence,as well as the mediating role of self-efficacy and the moderating role of perceived organizational support. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 385 nurses who had experienced workplace violence. They completed the Adversity Quotient Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale, Perceived Organizational Support Scale,and Psychological Resilience Scale. Results Adversity quotient positively predicted psychological resilience among nurses experiencing workplace violence(β=0.186). Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between adversity quotient and psychological resilience,with a mediation effect value of 0.168,accounting for 59.36% of the total effect. Perceived organizational support moderated the relationships between adversity quotient and self-efficacy (β=0.164) as well as between adversity quotient and psychological resilience(β=0.246). Conclusion Adversity quotient directly influences psychological resilience among nurses experiencing workplace violence and indirectly affects resilience through self-efficacy. Perceived organizational support positively moderates the effects of adversity quotient on both self-efficacy and psychological resilience.
