Abstract

Globally, nurses experience workplace violence (WPV) and are more frequently exposed to WPV than other healthcare professions. This provokes burnout and physical and emotional damage. Our research examines assertiveness and exposure to WPV. Studying this connection catalyzes cutting-edge advancements for reducing turnover, instituting employee training, and transforming future curricula.
