Joint latent profiles of workplace violence and burnout among healthcare workers and their associated factors: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: To identify the joint latent profiles of workplace violence and burnout among healthcare workers using a person-centered approach, and to examine the psychosocial and demographic factors associated with profile membership. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 616 healthcare workers recruited from six hospitals in Sichuan Province, China, between April and May 2026. Workplace violence, burnout, work-family conflict, and emotional labor were assessed using validated self-report questionnaires. Results: A two-class model provided the optimal solution. Class 1, the "relatively adaptive profile", was characterized by low levels of workplace violence and burnout across all dimensions. Class 2, the "high-risk profile", exhibited significantly elevated workplace violence and burnout, accompanied by a prominent level of work-family conflict; more than half of the participants belonged to this profile. In the multivariable model, work-family conflict was the strongest independent predictor of high-risk profile membership. Although gender, hospital role, educational level, and monthly income differed significantly between profiles in univariate analyses, none remained significant after adjustment. Conclusion: These findings suggest that occupational mental health interventions should prioritize workplace violence prevention, the promotion of work-family balance, and that such psychosocial intervention pathways may have applicability across demographic subgroups.
