“…Fear of reappearance of violent episodes in the future has also been linked to emotional exhaustion among workers in the healthcare sector,54 55 which in turn, is associated with a feeling of job insecurity 56. Meanwhile, practising the healthcare profession in healthy settings is associated with less risk of this syndrome appearing 57 58. In spite of increasing evidence of the implications for the physical and psychological health of the workers appearing some time after the assault, the indirect economic load it generates has not yet been accounted for 12…”

IntroductionViolence against nursing personnel in their place of work is a severe problem generating important consequences for these workers. Even though there is a large body of research on the subject, the emotional impact of aggression against healthcare workers continues to be debated.ObjectivesThe objective of this quantitative, observational cross-sectional study was to analyse the effects of aggression against nursing personnel and the mediating role of anxiety in somaticising physical symptoms.MethodThe sample was made up of 1357 nursing professionals who answered questionnaires evaluating their sensitivity to anxiety and the presence of somatic symptoms.ResultsOf the professionals who indicated that they had been the victims of aggression by family members or patients in the previous year, 52.8% said it had happened to them on one occasion, 25.2% had experienced two episodes, while 6.9% and 15.1% said they had undergone three or more aggressions, respectively. Although 89.3% of the professionals affected by acts of indicated that they had not undergone physical or psychological consequences, there was a higher prevalence of somatic alteration among workers who had been victims of violence in the workplace. Furthermore, aggression at work had a direct effect on physical somatisation, which in turn acted as a mediator in the level of anxiety of nursing professionals. Thus, aggression increased the level of anxiety of nurses through the appearance of somatic symptoms.ConclusionsThe results are discussed based on some of the consequences that appeared after episodes of aggression in the healthcare sector and their relationship.

“…Other studies have shown that the healthy work environment of Iranian nurses is Inappropriate (Hoseini Es darjani et al, 2018;Salehi et al, 2020). A study by Kim et al (2020) reported a Inappropriate healthy work environment in nurses in Southern California (Kim et al, 2020), while studies in other countries show a appropriate healthy work environment (Huddleston et al, 2017;Kelly and Todd, 2017;Monroe et al, 2020). Studies show that, this difference can be due to the type of management, work culture, authority and different independence of nurses in Iran and abroad.…”

Background The immigration of nurses in Iran is increasing day by day, and it seems work-related factors such as workload and healthy work environment are associated with the intention to immigration.Objectives this study was conducted to determine the intention to immigration in nurses and its relationship with workload and healthy work environment.Methods This cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study was conducted in 2020 by simple random sampling method of 360 nurses working in hospitals in Iran. The study instruments were questionnaires of demographics, Intention to immigration (Lee, 2016), Workload (NASA-TLX) and healthy work environment (AACN, 2005). Data were analyzed by SPSS software and descriptive tests. p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results The score of intention to immigration was 65.59%, which indicated a high level of intention to immigration in nurses. There was a significant but weak correlation between intention to immigrate, with workload (r = 0.166, p = 0.002) and healthy work environment (r = 0.16, p = 0.002).Conclusion there was a weak but important relationship between the intention to immigration, workload and healthy work environment. More studies on factors related to the intention to immigration are required.

“…Health professionals constantly face with stressors (death, pain and loss) and the burnout in physicians increase due to problems during the treatment (treatment unresponsiveness and complications) [7]. This burnout in healthcare professionals adversely affects patient care, such as communication with the patient, patient satisfaction, and increasing medical errors [8,9]. Similarly, the nurses working in primary care units were also reported to be at risk in terms of burnout in the literature [9,10].…”

Burnout syndrome is an important problem among health professionals. The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between the burnout status and communication skills in primary care staff. The study was conducted in the descriptive type between April and June 2019. The population of the study comprised of family physicians and family health professionals working in primary care unit. The participants were administered the Maslach Burnout Inventory, certain questions concerning sociodemographic characteristics, and the communication skills evaluation scale. In total, 383 individuals working in the primary care unit participated in the study. The mean age was 43 ± 8.1 and among them, 64.8% were women. The scores of the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization of family physicians were significantly higher compared to family health workers. While the depersonalization score of women was significantly lower than men, the sense of personal accomplishment score was higher than men. As the number of daily clinic visits of the family physicians increased, the rate of their emotional exhaustion and depersonalization increased. While the communication skills decreased as the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization increased, the communication skills level increased as the sense of personal accomplishment increased. Women, family health workers, the widowed/the divorced women, and age group were determined to have better communication skills. A significant relation was determined between burnout subscales and increased number of daily average clinic visits of physicians, gender and occupational groups. There was a significant relationship between communication skill levels and burnout subscales concerning occupational groups, gender, marital status and age groups.
