It highlights the need for comprehensive data to understand the multifaceted nature of this problem, revealing the diversity of events and user responses. The study highlights the role of social media, particularly Twitter, in facilitating discourse about violence and its consequences in healthcare. These insights can help design effective interventions and policies to address and reduce violence against healthcare workers, and ultimately improve the work environment and quality of patient care.
