abstract="AIMS: To validate the Chinese version Psychosocial Safety Climate scale (PSC-12), and examine the associations between PSC, workplace violence, and self-rated health (SRH). <br><br>BACKGROUND: PSC moderates the negative effect of workplace violence on health. To address workplace violence experienced by nurses across the Asia-Pacific region, it is important to develop and apply a Chinese language version of the tool. <br><br>METHODS: We conducted a two-part study. In the first part, the Chinese version PSC-12 was developed and tested for its validity in 405 nurses. In the second part, a total of 1690 nurses from 73 hospitals filled a questionnaire concerning their work and health conditions. Multilevel modeling was used to examine the association between PSC, workplace violence, and SRH. <br><br>RESULTS: A comparable validity and reliability of the Chinese version PSC-12 with the original PSC was found. PSC scores was negatively associated with workplace violence. In the hierarchical linear model, participants from hospitals with the lowest PSC score had two-fold risks of having poor SRH. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The Chinese version PSC-12 is a valid tool. Hospital-level PSC was associated with poor health status in female nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: PSC should be evaluated and promoted to prevent workplace violence in nurses.
