“…In a previous study, we found also high rates in young physicians (approximately 40%) (Messiaen et al, 2020, 2021). This phenomenon has also been reported in Brazil (Sousa et al, 2021) and is probably not specific of the health care system. Sustained bullying at the workplace exposure seems to be commonplace in the hospital while it is a risk factor for depression (Messiaen et al, 2020).…”

Aim This study aimed to explore work environment and mental health in nurse assistants, nurses and health executives in a national large‐scale study. Background We have data for physicians but not for other health care workers categories. Methods A total of 6935 participants were recruited between May and June 2021 by professional mailings and professional networks. Results All professional categories reported high rates of high psychological demand (>90%), low social support (>60%), burnout (50% to 60%), exposure to potentially morally injurious events (>40%) and depression (approximately 30%). Surgery nurses reported the highest exposure to potentially morally injurious events. Major depression was identified in approximately 30% of participants in all categories, but less than 10% reported consuming antidepressants. A total of 31% to 49% of participants reported sleep disorders and 16% to 21% reported consuming regularly hypnotics. Physicians reported high hazardous drinking behaviour and nurse assistant high smoking rates. Conclusions and Implications for Nursing Management Our results suggest that preventing burnout and depression in health care workers is a priority. To reach this goal, nursing managers could develop some interventions to reduce psychological demand and increase personal accomplishment and social support between colleagues, and prevent sustained bullying at the workplace and health risk behaviours. These interventions should be further developed and evaluated.

“…Factors associated with WPV in critical care units that pertain to nurses include, having less experience (five years) and working in public hospitals ( Sousa et al, 2021 ). Less experienced nurses might be more vulnerable to abuse in the practice environment, and this could be associated with the lack the awareness to identify signs of violence ( Albashtawy, 2013 ).…”

Introduction Workplace violence (WPV) is a growing concern that constitutes a major threat to occupational health and safety, thereby comprising a priority issue for policymakers. Given the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and comorbidities among the Lebanese population, nurses working in critical care settings encounter intense workloads and high-risk interactions, potentially increasing the risk of WPV. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the traumatic and psychological reactions of Lebanese critical nurses who have been exposed to WPV, and the risk factors for depression and anxiety. Methods The study utilized a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design; 112 critical care nurses from diverse departments took part in this study during the period of June to July 2021. Results A positive, significant correlation between WPV exposure and self-reported anxiety was observed, p = .03 with high levels of WPV, especially among patients and their families. Although verbal abuse was found to be more prevalent among critical care nurses in Lebanon compared to physical and sexual violence, the severity of the situation and its impact on the nurses’ mental health and well-being cannot be ignored. Conclusions WPV for critical care nurses is a serious issue that needs to be considered. Policy-makers should develop the politics of regulating the nursing profession, especially for critical care nurses in Lebanon.
