“…However, the interview results from both Germany and Sweden showed the intended shift of referent did not work as well as desired, and this challenge was not solved by rewording items. This finding based on our qualitative study is somewhat in contrast to results from a number of quantitative survey studies that have found psychometric support for aggregating individual level responses to a meaningful group score for PSC (see e.g., Dollard & Bakker, 2010;Idris & Dollard, 2014;Law et al, 2011;Pien et al, 2018). However, even in those studies, the majority of variance can be attributed to the individual level, and previous research on workplace social capital items has also demonstrated the intended shift of referent can be a cognitively complicated task (Berthelsen et al, 2016).…”

“…This leads to a relevant consideration about how many items are actually required for a valid measurement of a construct. Findings from confirmatory factor analyses support the construct validity of the theoretically based four-factor structure measured by the 12-item version of PSC (Hall et al, 2010;Pien et al, 2018). Despite the theoretical reasoning behind the PSC measure, it seems data most often are collapsed into one single composite PSC score (see e.g., Afsharian et al, 2018;Biron et al, 2018;Bronkhorst, 2015;Idris et al, 2015;Potter et al, 2017).…”

“…In addition to Australia (Dollard & Bakker, 2010;Hall et al, 2010) and Malaysia (Idris, Dollard & Tuckey, 2015), the PSC measure has recently been translated and used in the Netherlands (Bronkhorst, 2015), Ghana (Ansah, Mintah & Ogah, 2018), France (Huyghebaert et al, 2018), Canada (Biron et al, 2018), and Taiwan (Pien, Cheng & Cheng, 2018). In general, the process of converting the PSC measure to a new context has merely included basic translation-back-translation procedures.…”

“…[5] In China, the Chinese version of the Psychosocial Safety Climate Scale or PSC-12 recommended the need to promote safety classes and trainings among nurses to minimize workplace violence or at least nurses will become more equipped in intervening such workplace events. [15] Violence may occur, anywhere and anytime and no one is ever safe from experiencing it. Mental health nurses in particular work and provide care for people who may have experienced the worst form of violence at least once in their lifetime leading to their commitment in the mental health facility.…”

Workplace violence can be in the form of aggression, harassment or simply physical infliction of harm towards nurses. It can arise from many sources but primarily they are patient inflicted violence in different forms. It can be a physical violence, emotional or a combination of both. Incidence of violence towards health care professionals is a recognized global public health issue. Previous studies have already suggested that health care professionals, particularly nurses, have a higher risk of experiencing workplace violence than other professionals. This integrative review looked into the violence where patients are the primary source, as well as the types and impact of violence amongst psychiatric mental health nurses happening worldwide. Further, it looked into the nurses’ road to recovery from the experience of violence and what hospitals and facilities are advocating in stopping these events or at least minimizing the frequency of such acts. Published studies considered in this review found that nurses’ experienced physical pain, fear, anxiety, frustration, distress, resentment, apathy, job dissatisfaction and anger following the violent incident. Nurses after their exposure to a series of violence from their patients’ experience dramatic changes in their well-being.

ObjectivesWe examined the associations of perceived psychosocial safety climate (PSC) with psychological distress and work engagement in Japanese employees. We also examined the mediation effects of job demands (i.e., psychological demands) and job resources (i.e., job control, worksite support, and extrinsic reward) in these associations.MethodsA total of 2200 employees (1100 men and 1100 women) registered with a Japanese online survey company were surveyed using a self‐administered web‐based questionnaire containing the scales on PSC (12‐item PSC scale), job demands and job resources (Job Content Questionnaire and Effort‐Reward Imbalance Questionnaire), psychological distress (K6 scale), and work engagement (9‐item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale), and items on demographic and occupational characteristics (i.e., age, sex, education, occupation, work form, and working hours per week). A multiple mediation analysis with a bootstrap method was conducted.ResultsAfter adjusting for demographic and occupational characteristics, significant negative and positive total effects of perceived PSC were observed on psychological distress and work engagement, respectively (c = −0.258 [95% confidence interval (CI): −0.298 to −0.219] and 0.383 [95% CI: 0.344–0.421], respectively). When we included job demands and job resources as mediators in the model, significant total mediation effects in these associations were observed (c − c′ = −0.181 [95% CI: −0.221 to −0.143] and 0.269 [95% CI: 0.234–0.304], respectively).ConclusionsOur findings suggest that perceived PSC is negatively associated with psychological distress and positively associated with work engagement, and that these associations are partially mediated (or explained) by job demands and job resources.
