“…A violência foi mais prevalente entre as pessoas na faixa etária de 25 a 39 anos, resultado também encontrado por outros autores 12,25,26 . Geralmente com menor tempo de serviço, é provável que essas pessoas ainda não detenham a experiência necessária para lidar com as situações de conflito, o que pode acarretar problemas de serviço.…”

Este estudo teve por objetivo estimar a prevalência de violência autorreferida no trabalho em saúde. Estudo transversal realizado com uma amostra de 679 servidores estaduais (Bahia, Brasil), por meio de entrevistas face a face e uso de questionário. Dos entrevistados, 25,9% (IC95%: 22,6%-29,2%) referiram pelo menos uma das modalidades de violência investigadas, sendo a agressão verbal (19,4%) a mais frequente. As mulheres na faixa etária de 25 a 39 anos apresentaram um acréscimo de 80% na ocorrência de violência em relação às mais velhas (OR = 1,8; IC95%: 1,1-3,0), enquanto que as médicas também foram as mais atingidas (OR = 2,5; IC95%: 1,2-12,5). Entre os homens, ter de 25 a 39 anos (OR = 3,9; IC95%: 1,9-16,4) e trabalhar como auxiliar ou técnico em enfermagem (RP = 3,9; IC95%: 1,1-13,2) aumentou quase quatro vezes a ocorrência de violência no trabalho em saúde. Este estudo pode trazer contribuições importantes para a visibilidade da violência no setor saúde e fornecer subsídios para a formulação de políticas de atenção aos trabalhadores com repercussão na qualidade do atendimento prestado à população.

The aim of this study was to identify work-related risk factors for workplace violence in a representative sample of Korean employees. Methods: We analyzed the associations between work-related factors and workplace violence in 29,171 employees using data from the 2011 Korean Working Conditions Survey. The survey included questions about verbal abuse, unwanted sexual attention, threats and behavior that humiliated the victim, physical violence, bullying/harassment and sexual harassment, and a respondent who answered yes to any of these 6 items was considered a victim of workplace violence. Results: The prevalences of verbal abuse, unwanted sexual attention and threats/ behavior that humiliated victims in the month preceding the study were 4.8, 1.0 and 1.5%, respectively. The prevalences of physical violence, bullying/harassment and sexual harassment in the year preceding the study were 0.7, 0.3 and 0.4%, respectively. Service workers had higher prevalences of overall workplace violence. Non-regular workers (OR=2.38, 95% CI=2.01−2.84), working more than 60 hours per week as opposed to 40−48 hours per week (OR=1.83, 95% CI=1.45−2.31) and night shift work (OR=1.88, 95% CI=1.54−2.30) were significant risk factors associated with workplace violence. Conclusions: Long working hours, job insecurity and night shift work were associated with a significant increase in workplace violence among

Medical workplace violence (MWV) is a key occupational hazard facing medical professionals worldwide. MWV involves incident where medical staff are abused, threatened and assaulted. MWV affects the health and well-being of medical staff exposed, causes significant erosion of patient-physician trust and leads to poorer health outcomes for patients. In China, the prevalence of MWV appears to be rising. Laws were enacted to keep medical staff safe, but clear surveillance and enforcement is needed to improve the condition. In the current essay, we conducted a systematic literature review to identify secondary and tertiary prevention programmes designed to ameliorate psychological suffering following MWV. This review identified only 10 published studies. A critical gap in the intervention literature exists with regard to addressing the public health burden of MWV.
