Objective: To explore the mediating effect of self-esteem between workplace violence and compassion fatigue among psychiatric nurses. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to investigate 300 psychiatric nurses, who were assessed using the Workplace Violence Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Chinese version of Compassion Fatigue Short Scale. Results: The findings revealed that the incidence of workplace violence experienced by the surveyed psychiatric nurses in last year was 87.4%. The total score of self-esteem among the participants was 27.97±3.01. The total score of compassion fatigue was 32.87±17.68. A positive correlation was observed between workplace violence and compassion fatigue (r=0.310, p<0.001), while a negative correlation was identified between self-esteem and compassion fatigue (r=−0.353, p<0.001). Meanwhile, self-esteem played a partial mediating role between workplace violence and compassion fatigue (indirect effect value 0.43), accounting for 30.07% of the total effect. Conclusion: Workplace violence can directly affect compassion fatigue, and it can also indirectly affect compassion fatigue through self-esteem. Managers should pay attention to nurses' self-esteem to improve their compassion fatigue situation.
