Latent profiles and associated factors of workplace violence among nurses in tertiary hospitals: a cross-sectional study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Workplace violence (WPV) is a significant occupational hazard that threatens nurses' psychological well-being and professional stability. Although prior studies have addressed the impact of WPV on nurses, the latent heterogeneity of their violence exposure patterns has not been systematically explored. Moreover, empirical evidence regarding the role of individual psychological traits in shaping different WPV experiences remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to identify latent profiles of WPV exposure among nurses and examine the associations between profile membership and demographic as well as psychological factors, in order to uncover key predictors of distinct WPV patterns. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between March and May 2025 among 549 registered nurses from eight tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, China. Participants completed a battery of standardized instruments, including General Demographic Data Scale, Workplace violence Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Emotional Labor Scale, and Perceived Organizational Support Scale. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was performed using Mplus 8.3 to identify WPV exposure subgroups, and multivariate logistic regression was used to determine associated factors. Results: LPA revealed two distinct WPV profiles: a high-frequency, multi-type violence group (n = 152, 27.7%) and a low-frequency, mild violence group (n = 397, 72.3%). Nurses in the high-frequency group reported significantly higher scores across all WPV dimensions, including verbal abuse, sexual harassment, threats, and physical assault ( Conclusion: Nurses' WPV experiences exhibit distinct latent profiles. Educational level, salary satisfaction, and psychological resilience are key differentiating variables. These findings highlight the need for stratified risk identification and targeted interventions, particularly for nurses with higher education levels, low salary satisfaction, and reduced psychological resilience, in order to mitigate the adverse effects of WPV and enhance occupational adaptation.
