“…31 In this study, men were found to be exposed to physical violence and verbal harassment more than a woman, which is consistent with some previous study results. 5,24,32,33 Unlike our results, WPV in an emergency was found to be similarly experienced by male and female physicians (79% vs 75%; P = .65, respectively). 32 The study found that doctors were more vulnerable to WPV, which is consistent with some previous research, 5,10,33 while some research did not support this result, 34,35 which may be because physicians are the front line of health care in the Turkish health care system.…”

These variations may be partially explained by societal or cultural variations that have an impact on personal risk factors in particular nations.…”

The study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of workplace violence (WPV) against pediatric emergency healthcare workers and evaluate the relationship between WPV and psychological resilience. This study is cross-sectional and correlational. According to the results, the prevalence of WPV was 69.8%, and its distribution was as follows: verbal abuse (56.9%), bullying/mobbing (37.6%), physical abuse (12.8%), and sexual abuse (2.2%). Being single/separated/divorced/widowed (odds ratio [OR]: 1.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-3.30), being a physician (OR: 4.74, 95% CI: 1.73-12.96), being a staff member (OR: 2.57, 95% CI: 1.10-5.99), routine direct physical contact with patients/clients (OR: 2.77, 95% CI: 1.40-5.48), and lack of encouragement to report WPV (OR: 3.76, 95% CI: 2.01-7.01) were independent predictors of WPV ( P < .05), and WPV was found to be associated with low psychological resilience. Arrangements related to violence prevention, preparation, and intervention should be made and maintained in all pediatric emergency departments.

“…A practice was initiated by the Ministry of Health to report violent incidents and provide legal aid to healthcare workers who were subjected to violence, and a "113 White Code Call Center" was established to provide 24/7 service [6]. The calls to the center are mostly being made by physicians [4,7]. Unfortunately, intern physicians are among the groups subjected to violence, which affects both their education processes and their future professional practices negatively [8,9].…”

Background/Aim: Violence against healthcare workers has become a major problem worldwide. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the communication skills of interns and their exposure to violence. Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 287 students working as intern physicians at the Ondokuz Mayis University Faculty of Medicine within the academic year of 2018-2019. It was conducted with 234 volunteering individuals. The data were collected through a questionnaire, consisting of 33 questions in total, applied with a face-to-face interview. The Communication Skills Scale was used, as well as questions about sociodemographic characteristics and violence. The level of statistical significance was set at P<0.05. Results: Eighty-six (36.8%) intern physicians stated that they had been subjected to violence in the last year. Eighty-four (97.7%) of these participants stated that they were subjected to verbal violence and 5 (5.8%) to physical violence. While there was no significant difference between the participants in terms of being exposed to at least one type of violence or verbal violence, the mean scale score was significantly lower in those who were exposed to physical violence (P=0.032). Conclusion:The inadequacy of interns in communication was not included among the main reasons for verbal violence. Although the communication skills of interns who were exposed to physical violence were lower, it is necessary to work on larger groups to make a community-wide assessment.

The population of the study consisted of participants above 18 years old and residing in Yalova, Turkey. The survey method was used in the collection of data. A total of 545 survey forms were collected in the scope of the study. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, etc.) was calculated in the analysis of the data collected.Results: In accordance with the results of the study, it has been found out that the three most important reasons for the violence against HCWs are the impatience of the patients and their relatives (3.85±0.92), inadequate information given to the patients and their relatives (3.68±0.97) and long waiting periods of the patients (3.45±1.11).
