“…Furthermore, a full measure of NWB should include the different types of harm, namely, physical (e.g., cardiovascular disease) [ 36 ], material (e.g., replacement costs by employee turnover) [ 37 ], psychological (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder) [ 38 ], and social harm (e.g., family consequences) [ 39 ]. Additionally, the NWB measure should include the measurement of different actor types involved in NWBs, i.e., strangers/public (e.g., visitor) [ 14 ], workers/managers (e.g., teacher) [ 40 ], clients/pupils/customers (e.g., supplier) [ 41 ], and relatives (e.g., friend) [ 14 ].…”

Negative work behavior (NWB) threatens employee well-being. There are numerous constructs that reflect NWBs, such as bullying, aggression, and discrimination, and they are often examined in isolation from each other, limiting scientific integration of these studies. We aim to contribute to this research field by developing a diagnostic tool with content validity on the full spectrum of NWBs. First, we provide a full description of how we tapped and organized content from 44 existing NWB measurement instruments and 48 studies. Second, we discussed our results with three experts in this research field to check for missing studies and to discuss our integration results. This two-stage process yielded a questionnaire measuring physical, material, psychological, sociocultural, and digital NWB. Furthermore, the questions include a range of potential actors of NWB, namely, internal (employees, managers) and external actors (clients, customers, public, and family members) at work and their roles (i.e., target, perpetrator, perpetrator’s assistant, target’s defender, outsider, and witness of NWBs). Finally, the questionnaire measures what type of harm is experienced (i.e., bodily, material, mental, and social harm).

“…Previous studies reported that medical professionals avoided high-risk procedures to avoid the fury that would arise in the event of a negative outcome [13]. WPV against HCWs negatively impacts their physical health, such as cardiovascular disease [14,15] and mental health, including tiredness and reduced concentration during work time [16]. Hence, these studies emphasised that such WPV events could impair both health service quality and the health of HCWs, further jeopardising community health.…”

Workplace violence (WPV) is a major public health concern, especially among healthcare workers. There is a negative perception and poor practice of healthcare employers towards WPV prevention. This study aims to determine the perception and practice towards WPV prevention and its associated factors among healthcare employers in Melaka, Malaysia. A cross-sectional study was conducted by recruiting 162 healthcare employers, using a validated questionnaire and utilised linear regression analysis. The participants had a mean percentage of 67.2% for perception and 80% for practice towards WPV prevention. The perception towards WPV prevention is associated with the following characteristics: female (adjusted ß = −3.95; 95% CI: −7.81, −0.09; p = 0.045), Indian ethnicity (adjusted ß = 16.04; 95% CI: 2.34, 29.74; p = 0.022), other ethnicities (adjusted ß = 25.71; 95% CI: 8.94, 42.47; p = 0.003), degree holder (adjusted ß = 4.35; 95% CI: 0.15, 8.54; p = 0.042), masters holder (adjusted ß = 7.63; 95% CI: 1.11, 14.14; p = 0.022), and enough funds (adjusted ß = −5.46; 95% CI: −9.25, −1.67; p = 0.005). Meanwhile, the practice towards WPV prevention is significantly associated with Chinese ethnicity (adjusted ß = −9.25; 95% CI: −18.36, −0.14; p = 0.047), Indian ethnicity (adjusted ß = −14.97; 95% CI: −29.48, −0.46; p = 0.043), other ethnicities (adjusted ß = 23.55; 95% CI: 5.59, 41.51; p = 0.011), degree holder (adjusted ß = −4.41; 95% CI: −8.67, −0.14; p = 0.043), and availability of standard operating procedure for reporting WPV (adjusted ß = 6.07; 95% CI: 1.58, 10.57; p = 0.008). The high perception and practice towards WPV prevention and its associated factors among healthcare employers provide evidence-based input to improve the existing measures for WPV prevention.

“…In fact, exposure to mobbing increases the risk of sleep disorders, tiredness, and exhaustion (Niedhammer et al, 2009). In this context, different authors have described not only a raise in anxiety and insomnia (Gray et al, 2019), depressive symptoms or suicide (Becker & Correll, 2020;Theorell et al, 2015), but also a lower performance, greater absenteeism from work and an increased cardiovascular risk (Jacob & Kostev, 2017).…”

Descriptive and observational study carried out consecutively between adult outpatients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and a control population to determine workplace harassment. Demographic and clinical parameters were determined, and two surveys were carried out: the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) to evaluate the quality of life and the NAQ-R (Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised) to assess workplace bullying. Seventy patients with CHD (37 ± 10 years old and 38 (54%) male) and 243 age-and sex-matched controls were studied. Twenty-two patients had mild, 37 moderate, and 11 severe CHD defects. In relation to the educational level, patients with CHD showed a statistically significant higher percentage of vocational training (p = 0.003) while in the control group, there was a higher percentage of patients with secondary education (p = 0.010). No differences were observed in relation with university studies (p = 0.466). Similarly, no statistical significant differences were obtained in the EQ-5D questionnaire between both groups. Regarding the NAQ-R survey, patients with CHD scored significantly higher in the three dimensions of the test (physically intimidating bullying, work-related bullying, and person-related bullying) independently of the educational level. Also, patients with CHD self-reported significantly more workplace bullying than controls (15 (21%) vs. 26 (10%), p = 0.007). Meanwhile, in the whole series, those who reported workplace harassment referred more anxiety and depression (29% vs. 17%, p = 0.049) in the quality of life survey but not of psychiatric illnesses.
