Abstract
Background: Workplace deviant behaviours among nurses poses a widespread threat to their
physical and psychological health. Nurses who experienced workplace mobbing and abusive
supervision are at greater risk to develop psychological distress as a consequence of persistent

psychological distress among head nurses. Method: Descriptive correlational design. Setting: The
study was conducted at Main Mansoura university hospital. Subjects: Study sample composed of
133 head nurses working at Main Mansoura University Hospital. Tools: Three Self-administered
questionnaires were used for data collection including Workplace Violent Behaviours Instrument,
Abusive Supervision Scale and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale. Results:(45.1%) of head
nurses have moderate level of workplace mobbing, (29.3%) of them complain from mild level of
abusive supervision. Finally, (27.1%) of them have sever level of psychological distress.
Conclusion: There was statistical significant positive correlations between psychological distress
and both workplace mobbing and abusive supervision among the studied nurses.

maintain effective communication with head nurses. Maintain a healthy work-life balance and
