“…Analysis also indicated a significant negative relationship between workplace aggression/violence and personal accomplishment (PA). This finding is supported by previous studies examining the role of exposure to violence and burnout in various professions including; Nurses (Galián-Muñoz et al, 2016), nursing home caregivers (Isaksson et al, 2008), police officers (Kop, Euwema, and Schaufeli, 1999), Psychiatrists (Kumar, 2007), and social workers (Beaver, 1999).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between frequency of exposure to physical violence/aggression and traumatic stress and burnout in social care workers (SCWs). One hundred SCWs were surveyed using non-experimental, cross-sectional, quantitative correlational study design with three questionnaires: Demographic Questionnaire, Revised Impact of Events Scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory. Responses were analysed using SPSS quantitative software and utilised descriptive statistics, and non-parametric correlational tests. Results indicated statistically significant positive relationships between the frequency of exposure to physical aggression/violence and traumatic stress and burnout measures. Results also indicated significant positive correlations between traumatic stress and burnout. Furthermore, exposure to workplace violence/aggression, traumatic stress, and burnout also positively correlated with SCWs desire to leave the profession in the next five years. Finally, results indicated a significant relationship between frequency of self-care and levels of traumatic stress and burnout subscales in SCWs.)

“…As to criterion validity, as in many studies, we obtained that exposure to violence can have numerous psychological consequences in the worker. In this sense, analyses have been conducted to predict the consequences of exposure to user violence, finding that professionals exposed to user violence score higher in job dissatisfaction, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization ( Bernaldo-De-Quirós et al, 2015 , Galián-Muñoz et al, 2016 , Gascón et al, 2013 , Shahzad and Malik, 2014 , Trépanier et al, 2013 ).…”

Background/Objetivo: According to the World Health Organization, one out of every four violent workplace acts takes place in the health setting. The aims of the study are to study the prevalence of workplace violence in primary healthcare (PHC) professionals by adapting the Healthcare-worker's Aggresive Behaviour Scale-Users (HABS-U), to establish the frequency of exposure to hostile indicators and to determine which professional group is most exposed. Method: Study through qualitative and quantitative methodology in PHC professionals of the Region of Murcia (Spain). In the qualitative phase in-depth interviews were conducted and during the quantitative phase the instrument was used to 574 professionals of 39 PHC centres. Results: The resulting scale shows excellent psychometric properties and correlates significantly with job satisfaction, burnout components, the factors of empathy and psychological well-being. There was a 90.2% prevalence of user violence, and non-medical personnel were found to be the professional group most exposed. Conclusion: The distribution of user violence is not homogeneous among the different professional groups of PHC. The adaptation of the scale may be useful for detection of user violence, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of intervention programs.

“…Only one study addressing life-time exposure to violence was excluded as a result of this criterion (18); (vi) Effect measures: indicators of relative or absolute risk of disorders or symptom caseness. Seven (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) cross-sectional or longitudinal studies addressing a diversity of symptom outcomes reporting correlation or regression coefficients based upon continuous exposure and/or outcome scores were not included since these studies were not eligible for meta-analyses based upon relative risk measures. Eight other studies were excluded because they did not provide any measure of association at all (8,(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32).…”

Objective This review aimed to examine systematically the epidemiological evidence linking work-related exposure to violence and threats thereof with risk of mental disorders and mental ill-health symptoms. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO and Web of Science to identify original studies that provide quantitative risk estimates. The evidence was weighted according to completeness of reporting, potential common method bias, and bias due to differential selection and drop out, selective reporting, and misclassification of exposure and outcome. Results We identified 14 cross-sectional and 10 cohort studies with eligible risk estimates, of which 4 examined depressive disorder and reported an elevated risk among the exposed [pooled relative risk (RR) 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.31–1.54, I 2 =0%]. The occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms, burnout and psychological distress was examined in 17 studies (pooled RR 2.33, 95% CI 3.17, I 2 =42%), and 3 studies examined risk of sleep disturbance (pooled RR 1.22, 95% CI 1.09–1.37, I 2 =0%). In most studies, common method bias and confounding could not be ruled out with confidence and strong heterogeneity in most outcome definitions invalidate the strict interpretation of most pooled risk estimates. Conclusion The reviewed studies consistently indicate associations between workplace violence and mental health problems. However, due to methodological limitations the causal associations (if any) may be stronger or weaker than the ones reported in this study. Prospective studies with independent and validated reporting of exposure and outcome and repeated follow-up with relevant intervals are highly warranted.
