Although gaslighting is an alarming issue, the literature on predictors of this phenomenon is scarce. To examine the association between resilience and gaslighting in the workplace, quiet quitting, and work engagement among nurses. We conducted a cross-sectional study in Greece during December 2024. We used the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) to measure levels of resilience in our sample. Moreover, we used the Gaslighting at Work Scale (GWS), the Quiet Quitting Scale, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-3 to measure workplace gaslighting, quiet quitting, and work engagement, respectively. The study population included 462 nurses with a mean age of 36.80 years. We found that resilience protected nurses from workplace gaslighting. After adjusting gender, age, educational level, and work experience, a negative association was found between resilience and GWS score ( < 0.001), loss of self-trust ( < 0.001), and abuse of power ( < 0.001). Moreover, our multivariable analysis identified a negative association between resilience and Quiet Quitting Scale score ( < 0.001), detachment ( < 0.001), lack of initiative ( < 0.001), and lack of motivation ( < 0.001). Additionally, we identified a positive relationship between resilience and work engagement ( < 0.001). Our findings suggested the protective role of resilience against gaslighting in the workplace and quiet quitting in nurses. Moreover, we found that resilience improved nurses' work engagement. However, the cross-sectional nature of this study cannot imply causality between the study variables, and, thus, further studies are required to clarify the association between resilience, workplace gaslighting, quiet quitting, and work engagement.
尽管煤气灯效应是一个令人担忧的问题，但关于这一现象预测因素的文献却很匮乏。为了研究护士的心理韧性与工作场所中的煤气灯效应、消极怠工和工作投入之间的关联。2024年12月我们在希腊进行了一项横断面研究。我们使用简易心理韧性量表（BRS）来测量样本中的心理韧性水平。此外，我们分别使用工作场所煤气灯效应量表（GWS）、消极怠工量表和乌得勒支工作投入量表-3来测量工作场所中的煤气灯效应、消极怠工和工作投入。研究人群包括462名护士，平均年龄为36.80岁。我们发现心理韧性可保护护士免受工作场所煤气灯效应的影响。在对性别、年龄、教育水平和工作经验进行调整后，发现心理韧性与GWS得分（<0.001）、自我信任丧失（<0.001）和权力滥用（<0.001）之间存在负相关。此外，我们的多变量分析确定心理韧性与消极怠工量表得分（<0.001）、疏离感（<0.001）、缺乏主动性（<0.001）和缺乏动力（<0.001）之间存在负相关。此外，我们还发现心理韧性与工作投入之间存在正相关（<0.001）。我们的研究结果表明心理韧性在工作场所对煤气灯效应和护士消极怠工具有保护作用。此外，我们发现心理韧性可提高护士的工作投入。然而，本研究的横断面性质无法暗示研究变量之间的因果关系，因此，需要进一步研究来阐明心理韧性、工作场所煤气灯效应、消极怠工和工作投入之间的关联。
