Studies have mainly focused on evaluating user violence toward health professionals, with less attention being paid to other sources of conflict, such as co-workers themselves. There are different manifestations of this violence in what has been called a context of tolerated or normalized violence among co-workers. However, its effects are far from being tolerable, as they have an impact on general health and job satisfaction and contribute to burnout among professionals. Based on this idea, and following the line of the previous literature, nursing staff are a population at high risk of exposure to workplace violence. For this reason, the present study aims to evaluate exposure to lateral violence or violence among co-workers in nursing staff in public health services and the relationship of this exposure with some of the most studied consequences. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional associative study was carried out in which scales of workplace violence (HABS-CS), burnout (MBI-GS), job satisfaction (OJS), and general health (GHQ-28) were applied to a sample of 950 nursing staff from 13 public hospitals located in the southeast of Spain. (3) Results: The results show that nursing staff have a high exposure to violence from their co-workers, which is more common in male nurses. Greater exposure is observed in professionals with between 6 and 10 years of experience in the profession, and it is not characteristic of our sample to receive greater violence when they have less experience or are younger. A positive correlation is observed with high levels of burnout and a negative correlation with general health and job satisfaction. (4) Conclusions: The results of this work contribute to increasing the scientific evidence of the consequences of a type of workplace violence frequent among nursing staff and to which less attention has been paid in relative terms to other types of prevalent violence. Organizations should be aware of the importance of this type of workplace violence, its frequency and impact, and implement appropriate prevention policies that include the promotion of a culture that does not reward violence or minimize reporting. A change of mentality in the academic environment is also recommended in order to promote a more adequate training of nursing staff in this field. 000107411 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000107411 590__ $$a4.614$$b2021 000107411 592__ $$a0.814$$b2021 000107411 594__ $$a4.5$$b2021 000107411 591__ $$aPUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH$$b45 / 183 = 0.246$$c2021$$dQ1$$eT1 000107411 593__ $$aPollution$$c2021$$dQ1 000107411 591__ $$aPUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH$$b71 / 210 = 0.338$$c2021$$dQ2$$eT2 000107411 593__ $$aHealth, Toxicology and Mutagenesis$$c2021$$dQ1 000107411 591__ $$aENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES$$b100 / 279 = 0.358$$c2021$$dQ2$$eT2 000107411 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000107411 700__ $$aPina, David 000107411 700__ $$aPuente-López, Esteban 000107411 700__ $$aLuna-Maldonado, Aurelio 000107411 700__ $$aLuna Ruiz-Cabello, Aurelio 000107411 700__ $$aMagalhaes, Teresa 000107411 700__ $$aPina-López, Yolanda 000107411 700__ $$aRuiz-Hernández, José Antonio 000107411 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-6469-9189$$aJarreta, Begoña Martínez$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000107411 7102_ $$11012$$2613$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
