The research was designed as a mixed methods study and was conducted between 15 February and 5 April 2026. In the qualitative phase, semi\u2010structured interviews were conducted with 13 nurses; in the quantitative phase, the Demographic Characteristics Form and The Multidimensional Presenteeism in Nurses Scale were administered to 130 nurses. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS 27 and MAXQDA 2022.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results\/Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the total sample (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 130), 64.6% of nurses reported exposure to workplace violence at least once in their professional practice (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200984\/130); the most common type of violence was verbal violence (91.7%). The rate of physical violence was 32.1%, and the most significant source of violence was patients' relatives (67.9%). Only 46.4% of nurses who had been exposed to violence reported the incident. The mean scores on the \u2018Experience of Presenteeism at Work\u2019 scale were 19.13\u2009\u00b1\u20098.57 for the experience dimension, 43.64\u2009\u00b1\u200911.44 for the reasons dimension, and 69.52\u2009\u00b1\u200918.86 for the consequences dimension. Qualitative findings revealed that the experience of violence was described using the metaphor of an \u2018invisible wound\u2019, that violence became normalised over time, and that nurses predominantly turned to individual coping strategies.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Workplace violence among intensive care nurses is a widespread, multidimensional and largely normalised problem. Low reporting rates and the normalisation of violence create a vicious cycle in which opportunities for learning and improvement are lost.
