N2  - AIM: This study aimed to investigate effects of workplace bullying on different post-traumatic stress symptoms and coping among hospital nurses. <br><br>BACKGROUND: Workplace bullying is a traumatic event that negatively affects the quality of patient care and nurses' mental health. <br><br>METHOD: This cross-sectional, correlational study used an online survey among hospital nurses. Ordinary least square and quantile regression analyses were conducted using Stata version 16. <br><br>RESULTS: The study included 233 registered nurses from South Korea who had provided direct care to patients in a hospital for at least six months. Overall, 28% self-identified as victims or witnesses and 37% as victims and witnesses simultaneously. "Victim" and "passive coping" were significantly associated with the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles groups of post-traumatic stress symptoms, while "witness" was significant in the 95th percentile group. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Our study findings explore nurses' workplace bullying, detect high-risk subgroups, and suggest development of coping interventions for reducing workplace bullying and post-traumatic stress symptoms. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The study identified associations among bullying experience types, severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms, and passive coping. It is critical to explore traumatic experience types and severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms for nurses at risk of workplace bullying.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
