Method: Participants (n=153) were recruited in S and B cities from October 16 to December 22, 2007. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. Results: Level for ED nurse burnout was 2.54 out of a possible 4, and for ED nurse job satisfaction, 2.81 out of a possible 5. There were significant differences according to sex (t=-3.217, p=.002), total clinical career (F=5.805, p<.05), and clinical career in the ED (F=1.640, p<.01). There was a significant positive correlation between violence experience and burnout (r=.500, p<.001), and significant negative correlations between violence experience and job satisfaction (r=-.300, p<.001), and between burnout and job satisfaction (r=-.492, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings from this study indicate that experiences of violence in the ED decrease work efficiency of the nurses and increase burnout.
