abstract="The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with resilience that helped abused nurses face and cope with violent events. The data for this cross-sectional study were collected from June 2013 to December 2013; 272 participants were recruited from emergency rooms and psychiatric wards in four hospitals in central Taiwan. Among these participants, 230 (84.6%) met the inclusion criterion and completed all questionnaires; 69 (30.0%) of them reported having experienced only verbal violence; 46 (20.0%) reported having experienced only physical violence, and 115 (50.0%) reported having experienced combination of verbal and physical violence. Having a college education or greater (exp((β)()) = 1.045, p = 0.018), extraversion (exp((β)()) = 1.012 per unit increase in the score, p < 0.001), family support (exp((β)()) = 1.004 per unit increase in the score, p = 0.031), peer support (exp((β)()) = 1.008 per unit increase in the score, p = 0.006) and lower level of neuroticism (exp((β)()) = 0.983 per unit increase in the score, p < 0.001) were positively associated with resilience scores; 43.6 % of the variance in resilience was explained by the variables assessed. Adequate support and advanced education are important for abused nurses to enhance their resilience.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
