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

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.
