“…[20] Psikiyatri servislerinde agresyon ve şiddetin ele alındığı çalışmalarda, agresyona en fazla maruz kalanların bu servislerde çalışan hemşireler olduğu ve hatta hasta agresyonunun hemşirelik mesleğini bırakmaya neden olan önemli faktörler-den biri olduğu belirtilmektedir. [4,8,11,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Psikiyatri servislerinde agresyon ve şiddetin incelendiği çalışmalara göz atıldı-ğında, dünya genelinde oldukça yaygın bir şekilde görüldüğü dikkati çekmektedir:…”

ÖZETPsikiyatri kurumlarında saldırı ve şiddet olayları, hastalara ve çalışanlara zarar vermekte, hastalar ve çalışanlar arasındaki ilişkiyi bozmakta ve terapötik ortama karşı bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Agresyon, klinik ortamı tahrip eden yapısı nedeniyle, psikiyatri bakımında en önemli uğraş alanlarından biridir. Agresyonu önlemeye/gidermeye yönelik girişimler, geçerli ve açıklayıcı bir model kapsamında tanımlandığında ve uygulandığında etkili olabilecektir. Böylece, maruz kalınan olaylar fark edilebilecek, bildirilebilecek, kayıt altına alınabilecek ve sistematik şekilde ele alınabilecektir. Bu derleme, psikiyatri servislerinde agresif olayların giderilmesini/en aza indirilmesini sağlayacak "koruyucu önlemlerin geliştirilmesinde", doğası, oluşumu, ortaya çıkışına katkıda bulunan faktörler ve etkileri çerçevesinde agresyon kavramını tanıtmak amacıyla literatür doğrultusunda bilgi vermeyi amaçlamıştır.

“…Colleagues and supervisors have also been identified as committing WPV [ 11 , 13 ]. It seems natural to suppose that occupational groups, physicians [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], and nurses [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ] stand at a disproportionately high risk of WPV. Nevertheless, existing research tends to focus on specific professions (that is, only potentially one of these two jobs), recording their experience in cross-sectional designs.…”

This paper sets out to estimate the prevalence of workplace violence in relation to socio-demographic characteristics of physicians and nurses working in healthcare settings in Macau. Background: Concerted efforts worldwide to reduce workplace violence (WPV) have not yet removed medical-related professionals from the threat of patients’, family members’, and colleagues’ physical and other assaults in Southeast Asia. Methods: The study employs a cross-sectional design to estimate the prevalence and examines the socio-economic and psychological correlates of WPV among medical doctors and nurses in Macau. The data collection period spanned from August to December 2014. Multiple logistic regression examines the prevalence rates of WPV and its associated factors in doctors and nurses. Results: A total of 107 doctors (14.9%) and 613 nurses (85.1%) participated in the study; 57.2% had suffered WPV in the preceding year. The most common forms of workplace violence were verbal abuse (53.4%), physical assault (16.1%), bullying/harassment (14.2%), sexual harassment (4.6%), and racial harassment (2.6%). Most violence was perpetrated by patients and their relatives, colleagues, and supervisors. Conclusions: WPV remains a significant concern in healthcare settings in Macau. Macau’s local health authority should consider putting in place a raft of zero-tolerance policies designed to prevent it.

“…Type II violence, in which violence is perpetrated by a customer receiving services from an establishment, such as a patient or visitor; is common in hospitals. Specific hospital workgroups such as nurses [Hesketh et al, ; Gacki‐Smith et al, ; Rodríguez‐Acosta et al, ; Pompeii et al, 2014] and physicians [Kowalenko et al, ; Salerno et al, ] are at high risk for type II violence, as are those employed in hospital emergency departments [Kowalenko et al, ; Gates et al, ; James et al, ; Gacki‐Smith et al, ] and in‐patient psychiatric units [Salerno et al, ]. While these workgroups are typically highlighted, few studies have examined type II violence across hospital workgroups [Pompeii et al, ], including those outside of nursing and medicine who also provide patient care, and/or services to hospital patients and visitors.…”
