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.

Resumo Objetivo Elaborar um questionário para avaliação da violência no trabalho sofrida ou testemunhada por trabalhadores de enfermagem e avaliar sua validade aparente. Métodos Estudo metodológico com participação de cinco juízes selecionados a critério de competência. Os juízes avaliariam o questionário segundo os critérios abrangência, objetividade, organização e pertinência. Foi apresentado, por meio da estatística descritiva, o porcentual de presença ou ausência dos critérios, em cada item avaliado, na primeira e segunda rodada de avaliação. Resultados O questionário foi estruturado em 5 seções, com 54 questões, e teve como referência de estrutura e conteúdo alguns dos instrumentos existentes e a literatura especializada sobre violência no trabalho. Na segunda rodada de avaliação, obteve-se avaliação favorável dos juízes quanto à presença dos critérios por item avaliado. Conclusão Espera-se que o questionário possa representar, aos interessados, mais uma possibilidade de mensuração da ocorrência de violência no ambiente de trabalho na enfermagem e na saúde.
