Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of resilience in the relationship between workplace bullying （WPB） and
professional identity among nursing interns. Methods A total of 292 nursing interns from six grade A hospitals were
selected as the research subjects using convenience sampling method. The WPB，professional identity，resilience，perceived
stress and coping styles were investigated by the Negative Acts Questionnaire Revised， the Professional Identity
Questionnaire for nurse students，the Chinese version of 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale，the Chinese Perceived
Stress Scale and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Results The scores of WPB and perceived stress were
negatively correlated with those of professional identity，resilience，and positive coping styles（PCS）［Spearman correlation
coefficients（rS
）were −0.354，−0.316，−0.388，−0.488，−0.636 and −0.478，all P<0.01］. There was a negative correlation
between negative coping styles（NCS）and professional identity（rS
=−0.117，P=0.046）. The scores of resilience and professional
identity were positively correlated with that of PCS（rS were 0.539 and 0.482，both P<0.01）. There was a positive correlation
between resilience and professional identity （rS
=0.567，P<0.01）. The scores of WPB and perceived stress were positively
correlated with that of NCS（rS were 0.350 and 0.281，both P<0.01）. There was a positive correlation between WPB and
perceived stress（rS
=0.419，P<0.01）. The scores of resilience and PCS were not correlated with that of NCS（both P>0.05）.
Resilience played a mediating role between WPB and professional identity. The interaction between WPB and NCS could predict
the professional identity and resilience of nursing interns（standardized regression coefficient were 0.31 and 0.17，both P<0.01）.
Conclusion WPB can directly or indirectly affect nursing interns’professional identity through resilience，and NCS plays a
moderating role on the direct effect of WPB and professional identity，and the relationship between WPB and resilience.
