Abstract
Workplace sexual harassment is a pervasive issue with profound consequences for individuals' psychological wellbeing. This study investigates the impact of exposure to sexual harassment on nurses’ psychological wellbeing. The study further examines the role of resilience and conflict resolution climate in the exposure to sexual harassment – nurses’ psychological wellbeing relationship. A sample of 343 employed individuals completed measures of sexual harassment experiences, psychological wellbeing, resilience, and conflict resolution climate. Results revealed that sexual harassment was significantly and negatively associated with psychological wellbeing. Additionally, resilience mediated the relationship between sexual harassment and psychological wellbeing. However, contrary to expectations, the conflict resolution climate did not moderate the relationship between sexual harassment and psychological wellbeing. The study contributes to the literature by providing insights into the mechanisms through which sexual harassment affects individuals' wellbeing and emphasizes the significance of resilience as a protective factor. Practical implications are discussed in terms of supporting individuals who experience sexual harassment and promoting healthier work environments.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
