A total of 1761 nurses from 9 public tertiary hospitals in 4 provinces (municipalities) located in eastern (Beijing), central (Heilongjiang, Anhui) and western (Shaanxi) regions of China completed the questionnaires (effective response rate=85.20%).

During the previous 12 months, the prevalence of physical violence and psychological violence towards nurses was 9.60% and 59.64%, respectively. As expected, the level of turnover intention was negatively correlated with participants\u2019 scores on job satisfaction (r=\u22120.367, p&lt;0.001) and perceived organisational support (r=\u22120.379, p&lt;0.001), respectively. Burnout was positively associated with turnover intention (r=0.444, p&lt;0.001). Workplace violence was positively associated with turnover intention (\u03b2=0.035, p&lt;0.001) in linear regression analysis. The total effect (\u03b2=0.53) of workplace violence on turnover intention comprised its direct effect (\u03b2=0.36) and its indirect effect (\u03b2=0.17).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Perceived organisational support served as a mediator between workplace violence, job satisfaction, burnout and turnover intention, and it had a significantly negative impact on turnover intention.
