“…Victims of violence at work in the past year had lower average age than those not exposed to violence in the last year, reinforcing findings of other studies (5,9,12,18,(20)(21) . This result can be explained from the perspective of young professionals who have less expertise in the development of their work activities and thus would have less ability to prevent attacks.…”

Objective: Identifying the violence suffered by the health team workers and their association with Burnout and minor psychiatric disorders. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 269 health team professionals of a public hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected through the use of the Survey Questionnaire: Workplace Violence in the Health Sector, Maslach Inventory Burnout and Self-Report Questionnaire. Results: Workplace violence struck 63.2% of workers, prevailing mostly in women (p = 0.001), among nursing auxiliaries/technicians (p=0.014) and was associated with minor psychiatric disorders (p<0.05), as exposure to different forms of violence increased the chances of these disorders by 60% (CI 95%: 1.2-2.1). The three Burnout dimensions were also associated to violence at work (p<0.05). Conclusion: Health workers experience violence in the workplace and this exposure is associated with Burnout symptoms and minor psychiatric disorders.

“…This is in contrast to other studies in which respondents -telling the perpetrator to stop‖ or -defend physically‖ was in the range of 35-45%. 47,48 In this study, a high percentage of respondents opined that the violence was preventable and similar findings were also observed by Kumar et al in Delhi in 2016. 33 In our study, a large majority of subjects responded that making the waiting area comfortable, restricted entry to examination room and display of action under the law can be helpful in preventing the violence.…”

Background: Work place violence has become an endemic problem for health care workers (HCW) worldwide. The staff nurses are the most vulnerable and most assaulted among all the health care workers. The study was conducted with an aim to assess the frequency of violence and factors responsible, the response of the staff nurses after an incident of violence, any association between the socio-demographic factors with the violence against the HCW and to seek the suggestions to stop/prevent such incidents.Methods: A cross sectional study conducted in a tertiary care private sector hospital in Lucknow. All the staff nurses working in IIMSR (Purposive Convenience). 141 staff nurses consented and were enrolled in the study. A qualified consenting nurse having at least 6 months of professional experience were included in the study.Results: Approximately three fourth of the nurses have ever been exposed to the violence and verbal abuse was the most common form of violence. The intense workload, high patient expectation and substance abuse were the three important contributing factors. The majority of nurses who suffered violence ever, felt that it was preventable. Ever reporting of violence was high and majority (>80%) of respondents felt that making the waiting room/area comfortable and restricted entry to staff and examination room can stop or prevent the violence.Conclusions: The violence against health care workers especially nurses is a major problem and can threaten the delivery of effective quality care. These incidents are preventable, provided security; training and communications measures are in place.

“…Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the risk factors associated with experiencing violence. The logistic regression model included variables that were identified as being P < 0.25 in any univariate analysis of the three forms of violence, and determined as being common risk factors (civil status, working time in the profession, institution and unit, average working time per week, unit where work is currently performed, status with regards to working in shifts, and the number of other personnel with whom work was performed for more than 50% of the working time) in the literature (7,(9)(10)(11) (model: Backward LR, entry: 0.05 and removal: 0.10). The level of statistical significance was accepted as P < 0.05.…”

“…Reasons for not reporting were listed as the perceived futility of reporting (13,21), the inability to follow up and complete the relevant legal procedures (17), the lack of a reporting system, and the unsatisfactory responses from the superiors (21). Only one study reported that 65.4% of those subjected to mobbing reported their situation to a superior (11). The findings regarding nonreporting may be due to the perception that violence is a natural consequence of the occupation, to nurses' unwillingness to resort to jurisdiction, to their lack of confidence in professional associations, and to their inability to obtain satisfying results.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of and risk factors for physical violence, verbal violence, and mobbing experienced by nurses in a university hospital. Materials and methods:This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Gazi University Medical Faculty Hospital. A questionnaire form recommended by the WHO and the International Labor Organization was administered through face-to-face interviews to determine the violence experienced in the past 12 months by nurses. Results:The prevalence of physical violence, verbal violence, and mobbing was 13.9%, 41.8%, and 17.1%, respectively. Working more than 40 h per week increased the risk of physical violence by 1.86 times. The majority of nurses who experienced verbal violence and mobbing were significantly more willing to change their work, their institution, and their profession if given the opportunity. Fewer than one-fourth of the victims indicated they reported any incident. Conclusion:We knew that the prevalence of physical violence, verbal violence, and mobbing were high among nurses and that incidents were underreported, and the study corroborated this information. What this study adds to the topic is that long working hours increased the prevalence of physical violence and was defined as an important contributory factor.
