“…Sharing bathrooms and several communal spaces makes it impossible for patients to regulate relationships and avoid unwanted contacts by moving between rooms, increasing crowding stress and consequently episodes of violence (Ulrich et al, 2018). Also de Barbieri et al (2021), as regards the number of beds, already stated that more incidents of violence were reported where there were more beds. Moreover, the fact of living the same context several times a week, depending on the treatment plan, probably places greater stress on the renal patient which can lead to a greater risk of v&a, but no study has currently been conducted from the patient's point of view to be able to confirm so (de Barbieri et al, 2021).…”

“…In fact, a poorly ventilated and lighted environment, with unpleasant temperatures, dirty and noisy can increase the sources of stress, which could lead to violence and have a greater number of episodes than in more pleasant environments (Di Martino, 2003; Geoffrion et al, 2020; OSHA, 2016). A better working condition that allows good lighting, to move well around the patient, inaccessible drug and money storage, should be the minimum measures to be taken to work in safety and reduce the risk of violence for workers in the health sector (Di Martino, 2003; de Barbieri et al, 2021; OSHA, 2016).…”

BackgroundNursing, between healthcare professions, is the most at risk of violence and aggression. Most healthcare organizations rely on training as the primary strategy for the prevention of violence. Very little is known about the key factors for prevention against nurses: staff education, training and risk assessment.ObjectivesThe aim is to verify if the number of observed episodes of violence and aggression in renal units are associated with structural and prevention managerial strategies.DesignAn observational, cross‐sectional study.ParticipantsThey were part of a convention sample of participants in the European Dialysis and Transplant Nurses Association/European Renal Care Association Conference of 2019, who understood the English Language and had a smartphone or tablet.MeasurementsThe tool used was a questionnaire developed by Zampieron in 2010, with closed questions, focused on violence and aggression's prevention and management.ConclusionsIn conclusion our study found that organizational and managerial strategies to address violence and aggression are highly correlated with observed violence in unit. Nurses are encouraged to become proactive by participating in prevention committees and policies, attending prevention training offered by unit, and reporting all incidents including those witnessed.

AimTo identify the relationship between the violence‐prevention climate and workplace happiness in hospitals. The secondary objective is to adapt a valid and reliable scale to a different culture in healthcare settings.BackgroundHealthcare settings are not immune to the harmful effects of violence, which can exacerbate existing challenges such as staff shortages. In the midst of these challenges, organizational efforts to ensure the safety of health workers are critical. These efforts can contribute positively to workers' happiness or well‐being.MethodUsing a cross‐sectional design with 400 healthcare professionals from five hospitals in Trabzon, Turkey, data collection involved the Violence‐Prevention Climate Scale and Workplace Happiness Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test the Turkish validity and reliability of the scale, and the consistency coefficient was calculated.ResultsThe findings revealed that, on average, employees exhibited high levels of violence‐prevention climate ( = 4.22) and moderate levels of workplace happiness ( = 3.70). Subsequently, correlation analysis unveiled a statistically significant association between the dimensions of violence‐prevention climate and workplace happiness (p < 0.05, r = 0.392). It was observed that those who experienced violence and did not feel safe in the workplace had lower levels of happiness.DiscussionThe instances of healthcare workers being exposed to violence identified in the study largely align with previous theories related to both individual and organizational effects.ConclusionViolence‐prevention climate affects the safety and workplace happiness of workers.Implications for nursing and/or health policyEmployees expect their managers to seriously consider all reports of violence. In this context, creating a violence‐prevention climate would be a good start. According to WHO 2030 targets, in an environment where there is a significant shortage of healthcare personnel, especially nurses, ensuring that existing employees work in a safer and happier environment will make a positive contribution to healthcare systems.
