abstract="AIM: We aimed to test a model examining the direct and indirect effects of the work environment on workplace violence, nurse burnout, and work attitudes of Chinese hospital nurses. <br><br>BACKGROUND: Work environment is a key factor related to nurses' work attitudes. There has been limited information about how the work environment influences nurses' work attitudes. <br><br>METHOD: This was a cross-sectional study that included 1,517 hospital nurses in 111 medical/surgical units in 23 hospitals from Guangdong province, China. Structural equation modeling was used to test a hypothesized model that supposed work environment has both direct and indirect effects on work attitudes (e.g., job satisfaction and intention to leave) through workplace violence and nurse burnout. <br><br>RESULTS: Better work environment was related to higher job satisfaction and lower intention to leave both directly and indirectly through two mediators: workplace violence and burnout. Burnout mediated the association of workplace violence with job satisfaction and intention to leave. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Improving work environment would promote nurse safety and subsequently contribute to stabilize the nurse workforce. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: To help nurses achieve safety and improved work attitudes, nurse managers should build a positive work environment and help nurses who have experienced workplace violence relieve their burnout.<br><br>© 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
