“…The findings of this study revealed that patients and their families were the most frequent perpetrators of violence against nurses. This finding is inconsistent with the findings of other studies examining WPV in healthcare settings (Al-Omari 2015;Cashmore 2012;Fujishiro et al 2011;Pai & Lee 2011;Taher 2010). Fujishiro et al (2011) revealed that nursing colleagues, seniors, managers and doctors were the primary sources of WPV.…”

The prevalence rate is extremely high among nurses in the targeted Saudi university hospital. Saudi health as well as university hospitals' administration and policy makers should adopt and introduce a 'zero tolerance policy', set standards and develop practical measures for preventing the incidence and for controlling the prevalence of violence against nurses. Besides, healthcare organizations, particularly hospitals, can fulfil their obligations to provide both staff and patients with more secure environment. Further research on the topic is needed.

“…The prevalence of physical and verbal violence against Iranian nurses was 28% and 74%, respectively. The study findings in neighboring countries show that the prevalence of physical and verbal violence is respectively 74.9% and 91.4% in Turkey (43), and 52.8% and 67.8% in Jordan (44), which are higher when compared to the prevalence in Iran. The results of Abu al -Rub et al (2007) study showed that the prevalence of physical violence against Iraqi nurses was 42.2%, from which 14.3% were carried out with deadly weapons (45).…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Workplace violence is one of the major health concerns and managerial issues that, by creating insecurity at the workplace, would affect the performance of the health personnel and their professional relations. Due to the close contact with patients and their companions, nurses are more exposed to workplace violence. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of workplace violence against Iranian nurses. Methods: In the present systematic review and meta -analysis, 22 Iranian articles, which were published in Farsi and English until February 2017, were selected. National and international databases were searched using "nursing", "aggression", "physical violence", "verbal violence", and "workplace violence" keywords and their possible combinations. Data were analyzed using meta -analysis and random effects model. Heterogeneity between the studies was evaluated using I 2 test.

“…5 6 Several substantial studies have suggested that nurses have a high risk of experiencing WPV. [6][7][8][9][10] During the past 12 months, the incidence rate of physical violence for nurses in Ethiopia, 7 South Korea, 8 Jordan, 9 Germany 10 and Iran 3 ranged from 18.22% to 56.0%, the verbal abuse rate being from 63.8% to 89.58% and the sexual harassment rate from 4.7% to 19.7%. WPV occurs primarily in the emergency wards and psychiatric departments of hospitals.…”

ObjectivesThe purpose of the present study was to explore the characteristics of workplace violence that Chinese nurses at tertiary and county–level hospitals encountered in the 12 months from December 2014 to January 2016, to identify and analyse risk factors for workplace violence, and to establish the basis for future preventive strategies.DesignA cross–sectional study.SettingA total of 44 tertiary hospitals and 90 county–level hospitals in 16 provinces (municipalities or autonomous regions) in China.MethodsWe used stratified random sampling to collect data from December 2014 to January 2016. We distributed 21 360 questionnaires, and 15 970 participants provided valid data (effective response rate=74.77%). We conducted binary logistic regression analyses on the risk factors for workplace violence among the nurses in our sample and analysed the reasons for aggression.ResultsThe prevalence of workplace violence was 65.8%; of this, 64.9% was verbal violence, and physical violence and sexual harassment accounted for 11.8% and 3.9%, respectively. Frequent workplace violence occurred primarily in emergency and paediatric departments. Respondents reported that patients’ relatives were the main perpetrators in tertiary and county–level hospitals. Logistic regression analysis showed that respondents’ age, department, years of experience and direct contact with patients were common risk factors at different levels of hospitals.ConclusionsWorkplace violence is frequent in China’s tertiary and county–level hospitals; its occurrence is especially frequent in the emergency and paediatric departments. It is necessary to cope with workplace violence by developing effective control strategies at individual, hospital and national levels.
