Abstract
Purpose: To assess abusive supervision and organizational silence among nurses and investigate the mediating influence of psychological capital and fear.
Background: Since the end of 2019, China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) department has decided to start the construction of regional medical centers in Shanxi, reducing cross-provincial and cross-regional medical care. In order to improve the overall standard of care in a hospital in a short period of time, health care leadership decision makers may adopt various effective leadership management practices to achieve the set goals and have high work pressure at the same time. In this case, abusive management may occur.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was employed. In January -March 2024, a convenience sampling method was used to collect data from 470 nurses in a total of 5 hospitals in Shanxi province they were required to complete the questionnaires online anonymously. The chain mediation model was tested using the PROCESS macro program in the SPSS software and multiple linear regression model was used to verify the mediating effect.
Results: Psychological capital and fear mediate the relationship between abusive supervision and nurses' organizational silence, playing indirect mediating roles. Abusive supervision was positively associated with nurses' organizational silence. Additionally, psychological capital plays a negative mediating role, accounting for 48.48% of the indirect effect, and fear plays a positive mediating role, accounting for 45.83% of the indirect effect. They form a chain intermediary, accounting for 5.69% of the indirect effect.
Conclusion: Psychological capital and fear mediate the impact of abusive supervision on nurses' organizational silence. Positive leadership training should be conducted to help reducing the level of head nurses' abusive supervision behaviors, while also fostering actions that elevate nurses' psychological capital levels.

The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
