(Wiley, 2025) Cakir, Orhan; Akkoc, Irfan; Arun, Korhan; Digrak, Ebru; Unlueroglugil, Hasibe Serap Uluirmak; Uluırmak Ünlüeroğlugil, Hasibe Serap
Aims and objectives This study aims to examine the mediating role of fear of future violence in the relationship between exposure to violent events at work and burnout among physicians and nurses.Background Workplace violence is an escalating concern within healthcare institutions in T & uuml;rkiye. Increasing exposure to violent events among healthcare professionals contributes to heightened fear of future violence, which may in turn exacerbate burnout.Methods A cross-sectional research design was utilized, collecting data via an online survey distributed to 387 physicians and nurses. The hypothesized model was analyzed using structural equation modeling techniques implemented in AMOS and SmartPLS software.Results The analysis revealed that exposure to workplace violence significantly elevated the depersonalization and emotional exhaustion dimensions of burnout. Conversely, it was associated with a paradoxical decrease in the personal accomplishment dimension. Notably, no statistically significant relationship was found between exposure to violence and fear of future violence. These findings underscore the complex interplay between various burnout dimensions and the impact of workplace violence on physicians and nurses.Discussion and conclusion Workplace violence emerges as a significant contributor to burnout among physicians and nurses, affecting emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment in multifaceted ways. However, the anticipated relationship between exposure to violence and fear of future violence was not supported by the data, indicating a need for further research in this area.Implications for nursing policy The findings of this study indicate that health policies in T & uuml;rkiye should prioritize strategies aimed at preventing and managing violence against physicians and nurses. Measures such as violence management training, strengthening organizational support systems, and implementing clear protocols for reporting and responding to violent incidents can help mitigate burnout among physicians and nurses.

(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Caliskan, Abdullah; Akkoc, Irfan; Arun, Korhan; Cakir, Orhan; Senuzun Aykar, Fisun
Implications and Objectives:This study investigates the role of future fear of violence in mediating the relationship between organizational ethical climate and job performance among nurses, as well as the impact of perceived and actual violence.Background:Growing concern about workplace violence in healthcare reveals a link between ethical climate and nursing outcomes. Understanding how ethical climate affects violence-related perceptions is especially important in developing countries.Methods:Data from 411 nurses were collected using a survey design, with the Organizational Ethics Climate, Future Fear of Violence, and Job Performance Scales. Structural equation modeling were used in the analysis.Results:Both contextual and task performance were positively influenced by ethical climate, with contextual performance having a stronger effect. Future fear of violence was linked to improved performance, indicating a motivational aspect of fear, whereas actual violence had a negative impact on both dimensions. The ethical climate was positively correlated with future fear of violence.Discussion and Conclusions:The findings suggest a complex relationship between ethical climate, fear of future violence, and job performance. The ethical climate improves performance while also increasing fear, possibly reflecting cultural dynamics in Turkiye.Implications for nursing policy:Policies should strengthen ethical climates and address workplace violence using culturally sensitive safety strategies.

(BMC, 2025) Cakir, Orhan; Akkoc, Irfan; Arun, Korhan; Digrak, Ebru; Akkoc, Seher; Unlueroglugil, Hasibe Serap Uluirmak; Cakir, Cagri Isil; Uluırmak Ünlüeroğlugil, Hasibe Serap; Işıl Çakır, Çağrı
Healthcare professionals, particulary doctors and nurses, experience a complex relationship between direct violence and witnessed violence in the workplace. This study investigates how direct and witnessed violence affect psychological capital through the mediating role of future violence.MethodsA cross-sectional descriptive and correlational research design was employed in this study. Data were collected from health institutions in western T & uuml;rkiye, with a total of 420 doctors and nurses participating in this study. The data collection instruments included Personal Information Form, Exposure to Violence Scale, Fear of Future Violence Scale and Organizational Psychological Capital Scale. The analyze the data, regression techniques were employed to examine the direct effects of violence on psychological capital, as well as to explore the mediating role of future fear of violence in these relationships.ResultsThe analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between direct and witnessed workplace violence; however, future fear of violence did not significantly correlate with either. While future fear of violence was weakly but significantly associated with optimism and self-efficacy, it showed no significant relationship with resilience or hope. Direct violence showed no meaningful correlation with any psychological capital subdimension. Witnessed violence was negatively associated only with optimism. Furthermore, no mediating role of future fear of violence was found between workplace violence and psychological capital.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates limited effects of direct and witnessed workplace violence on the subdimensions of psychological capital. Future fear of violence was not found to significantly mediate the relationship between experiences of violence and psychological capital. These results suggest a more complex dynamic between workplace violence and employees' psychological capital, highlighting the need for further detailed research in this area.
