Abstract

Aim

This study explored the relationship between workplace bullying, authentic leadership, workplace friendship and nurses’ health conditions and identified the predictors of nurses’ health. It also explored whether authentic leadership moderated the impact of workplace bullying on their health.

Methods

This study used a cross-sectional and correlational design following the STROBE guidelines. The main research tools were structured questionnaires, including sociodemographic variables, Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Workplace Friendship Questionnaire and CHQ-12. This study recruited 244 nursing staff members from a regional teaching hospital.

Results

The multiple linear regression analysis showed that excessive workload, high workplace bullying, low authentic leadership and low workplace friendship were predictors of nurses’ health.

Conclusion

Authentic leadership significantly moderated the impact of workplace bullying on nurses’ health based on hierarchical regression analysis.

Implications for nursing management and social policy

Hospital administrators should review the perpetrators’ responsibilities and assist the victims to obtain psychological counselling, regularly hold leadership training to enhance the leadership skills of nursing managers and organise social activities for nurses to foster workplace friendships.

探讨真实领导对职场欺凌的健康影响及调节作用：一项医院护士的横断面研究。

目的：探讨工作场所欺凌、真实领导、工作场所友谊与护士健康状况的关系，并确定护士健康的预测因子。该研究还探讨了真实的领导是否会缓和职场欺凌对他们健康的影响。方法：本研究采用横截面相关设计，遵循STROBE指南。主要研究工具为结构化问卷，包括社会人口学变量、真实领导力问卷、职场友谊问卷和CHQ-12。本研究从某地区教学医院招募244名护理人员。结果：多元线性回归分析显示，工作量过大、职场霸凌程度高、领导真实性低、职场友谊程度低是影响护士健康的因素。结论：基于层次回归分析，真实领导显著调节了职场欺凌对护士健康的影响。对护理管理和社会政策的影响：医院管理人员应检讨肇事者的责任，并协助受害者获得心理咨询，定期举办领导力培训，以提高护理管理人员的领导技能，并为护士组织社会活动，以促进工作场所的友谊。
