In order to identify and select information-rich items, semi structured interviews were conducted with 21 managers, doctors, and nurses who have managerial work experience based on criterion-related purposive sampling method. To increase the accuracy of qualitative data, four criteria of validity, transferability, reliability, and consistency were used, and the findings were analyzed using thematic analysis through open, axial, and selective coding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Antecedents of hostage syndrome in public hospitals included personal dimensions (personal characteristics, personal circumstances), contextual dimensions (social support, organizational culture, workplace policies, organizational climate, sociocultural attitudes) cognitive dimension (experience-based awareness, cognitive challenge), and emotional dimension (emotional action, emotional self-regulation, emotional damage).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The originality and value of this research lie in its in-depth exploration of the antecedents of OHS in a public hospital setting. This study fills that gap by identifying a range of antecedents that can influence an employee\u2019s ability to exit OHS, including personal, contextual, cognitive, and emotional factors. Moreover, this study offers valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare leaders, who can use the findings to develop more effective strategies for addressing and preventing OHS in public hospitals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jehp.jehp_488_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]],"date-time":"2026-07-31T08:02:22Z","timestamp":1785484942000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Antecedents affecting on exit from organizational hostage syndrome (Stockholm) in public hospitals"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mohammadreza","family":"Shafeie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Administration, Isf.C., Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akbar","family":"Etebarian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Administration, Isf.C., Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saeid","family":"Sharifi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cultural Management and Planning, Isf.C., Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mashallah","family":"Valikhani Dehaqani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Administration, ST.C., Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260818","first-page":"63","article-title":"Six days in August: The story of Stockholm syndrome","volume":"117","author":"Kilty","year":"2020","journal-title":"Booklist"},{"key":"R3-20260818","article-title":"Breaking down the Stockholm (like) syndrome","author":"Domina","year":"2019"},{"key":"R4-20260818","article-title":"Stockholm syndrome in Indian organizational culture","author":"Samanta","year":"2020","journal-title":"The Leap Blog."},{"key":"R5-20260818","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2161038","DOI":"10.1080\/20008066.2022.2161038","article-title":"Appeasement: Replacing Stockholm syndrome as a definition of a survival strategy","volume":"14","author":"Bailey","year":"2023","journal-title":"Eur J Psychotraumatol"},{"key":"R6-20260818","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"243","DOI":"10.1080\/13552600.2022.2053889","article-title":"An empirical examination of sexual harassment and Stockholm syndrome in relation to essential and non-essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic","volume":"29","author":"Hurley","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Sex Aggress"},{"key":"R7-20260818","article-title":"The Relationship between Work Values and Job Involvement on Organisational Commitment Among Immigration Employees in Tanzania","author":"Magembe","year":"2013","journal-title":"Doctoral dissertation, Mzumbe University"},{"key":"R10-20260818","article-title":"Stockholm Syndrome and Divorce-Related Decision Making of the Abused Spouse (Doctoral dissertation, Walden University)","author":"Sidiropoulou"},{"key":"R11-20260818","article-title":"The Battered Woman Syndrome","author":"Walker","year":"2009","journal-title":"Springer Publishing Company"},{"key":"R12-20260818","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s12914-018-0148-4","article-title":"Does the Stockholm Syndrome affect female sex workers?
