abstract="This study had three objectives: (1) to investigate the impact of workplace incivility on job burn-out of new nursing staff, (2) to verify the partial mediating role of anxiety in the relationship between workplace incivility and job burn-out, (3) to examine the resilience moderating the relations between workplace incivility and job burn-out. <br><br>DESIGN: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in May 2016 in China. SETTING: The survey was conducted in 54 cities across 29 provinces of China. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 903 participants were invited. Ultimately, 696 new nurses (<3 service years) completed valid questionnaires. The effective response rate was 77.1%. Entry criteria: voluntary participation, having less than three service years and being a registered nurse. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: being an irregular nurse, having more than three service years and refusing to participate in this work. OUTCOME MEASURES: An anonymous questionnaire was distributed among new nurses. The relationships and mechanism among the variables were explored using descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis. <br><br>RESULTS: The findings showed that workplace incivility was positively correlated with anxiety (r=0.371, p<0.01) and job burn-out (r=0.238, p<0.01) of new nurses. The positive relation between anxiety (β<i>=</i>0.364, p<0.01) and job burn-out (β<i>=</i>0.240, p<0.01) was also significant. Moreover, anxiety partially mediated (z=7.807, p<0.01) and resilience moderated (β=-0.564, p<0.01) the association between workplace incivility and job burn-out. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Experience of workplace incivility by new nurses would likely generate anxiety in the victims. Further, the increased anxiety state could elevate their level of job burn-out. New nurses with high levels of resilience could buffer the negative influence of workplace incivility by using a positive coping style.<br><br>© Article author(s) (or their employer(s) unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2018.
