This multi-group path analysis study investigated the effects of verbal abuse (suspicion of infection and disrespect) on difficulties in work performance according to the workplace quarantine measures of visiting nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 262 visiting nurses in Korea completed the online questionnaire between 10 October and 30 November 2020, and their data were included in the final analysis. The study found that experiences of verbal abuse mediated fear and anxiety to affect difficulties in work performance. In the path model of the group with a high level of workplace quarantine measures, experiences of verbal abuse (suspicion of infection and disrespect) did not directly affect fear. The opposite was true for the group with low levels of workplace quarantine measures. The implications for the field are that the following is required: heightened awareness of verbal abuse; workplace quarantine policies; and mental health management systems and intervention programs to detect the early fear and anxiety of visiting nurses.
这项多组路径分析研究，根据新冠疫情期间访视护士的工作场所隔离措施，调查了言语虐待（怀疑感染和不尊重）对工作表现困难的影响。2020年10月10日至11月30日期间，韩国共有262名访视护士完成了在线问卷，其数据被纳入最终分析。研究发现，言语虐待经历通过介导恐惧和焦虑来影响工作表现困难。在工作场所隔离措施水平较高的组的路径模型中，言语虐待经历（怀疑感染和不尊重）并未直接影响恐惧。而工作场所隔离措施水平较低的组情况则相反。该研究对该领域的启示是，需要做到以下几点：提高对言语虐待的认识；制定工作场所隔离政策；建立心理健康管理系统和干预项目，以检测访视护士早期的恐惧和焦虑。
