“…Additionally in most settings male nurses were more likely to encounter physical assaults (see table 1 ). The evidence also suggests night shift nurses and weekend nursing staff were more at risk of workplace aggression (Gacki-Smith et al, 2009, Shiao et al, 2010.

Personal experiences of aggression or violence in the workplace leads to serious consequences for nurses, the patient, patient care and the organisation. While there is a plethora of research on this topic no review is available that identifies types of aggression encountered, individuals perceived to be most at risk and coping strategies for victims. The aim of this systematic review was to examine occupational anxiety related to actual aggression in the workplace for nurses. Databases (Medline, CINAHL and Psyinfo) were searched resulting 1543 titles and abstracts. After removal of duplicates and non-relevant titles, 137 papers were read in full. The major findings of the review were that physical aggression was most frequent in mental health, nursing homes and emergency departments while verbal aggression was more commonly experienced by general nurses. Nurses exposed to verbal or physical abuse often experienced a negative psychological impact post incident.

“…Workplace violence in nursing has effects on worker's health for decreasing general health, mental health, and vitality scores, as observed in nurses who felt threatened (6) , and in the increased levels of psychological distress related to bullying and verbal sexual harassment suffered by nurses and midwives (7) . These consequences indicate initially that workplace violence is not restricted to the workplace, it can also be harmful to worker's health and consequently to his or her life, as restates a study (4) on social and family life of nurses disturbed by negative effects of verbal and physical abuse.…”

“…The effective analysis of these elements is very complex, because important factors often prevail and interfere (1) . Another consequence of workplace violence that relates directly to employer health care institutions is decreased organizational commitment associated with internal emotional abuse and bullying, as observed in nurses and midwives working in an Australian hospital (7) ; besides the impact on job performance (2) , decreased quality of work (4) , greater psychological demand, and decreased control over tasks (6) . It is understood that these consequences may affect the quality of health care provided, since they increase chance of occurrence of adverse events.…”
