“…Another important reason for the violence against HCWs is the long waiting periods of the patients (3.45±1.11). Similar studies in literature reveal that one of the most important reasons for the violence against HCWs is the long waiting periods of the patients, as well (12,16,25). The findings of the present study that the most important reasons for violence against HCWs are the impatience of the patients and patient relatives and long waiting periods of the patients provide support for other studies.…”

“…Participants were eager to learn more about their condition, and their limited medical knowledge made them feel ignorant and humiliated. In Yasar and team’s study (2017) [ 25 ], lower education levels among patients and their relatives were found to be related to increased HCV. If limited medical knowledge is related with lower education levels, this is an area that needs to be explored in the future.…”

“…However, the data collected from patients were limited. One result from a survey evaluating the opinions of patients who admitted to a hospital for any reason, and their relatives, showed that a lack of education and long wait times were connected to HCV [ 25 ]. More research into the experiences of patients would be helpful in the analysis of the causes of HCV.…”

BackgroundWorkplace violence is a widely-reported phenomenon among healthcare providers and negatively affects quality of care and treatment. This study aims to understand the potential factors related to HCV through the experiences of women who have undergone a pregnancy termination due to fetal anomaly.MethodsQualitative interview was used to collect data in this case study. Forty-one pregnant women who decided to terminate their pregnancy due to fetal anomaly were recruited from four Chinese hospital facilities, including three general hospitals and one specialty hospital in Changsha, Hunan, China. In-depth interviews were conducted from May to September 2017. Content analysis was used to analyze the data.ResultsSeveral potential factors related to violence in healthcare facilities were identified, including preventive factors, which possibly relieve healthcare violence; and negative experiences, which potentially related to healthcare violence. Preventive factors include healthcare providers gaining patient trust with detailed observation, expressing patient-centered care through discreet behavior, and showing patience and professionalism. Factors related to violence include busy work schedules, hurried visits, mechanized process, patients’ scant medical knowledge and mental distress.ConclusionsThis study highlights potential factors related to healthcare violence. The results will be submitted to the Chinese government’s policy making department in order to improve the healthcare system. We also suggest several important strategies to prevent HCV in a healthcare setting, both in China and globally.

“…Patients and their relatives can be aggressive verbally or physically toward healthcare workers, which not only negatively affects their psychological wellbeing but can also lead to injury or even death (Annagür, 2010). Verbal abuse, particularly against healthcare workers, is widespread, according to studies conducted in various nations (Kumar et al, 2019;Zhan et al, 2019;Nagata-Kobayashi et al, 2009;Fujita et al, 2012;Yaşar et al, 2017;zşenler, 2021).Studies have found that violent incidents rise as society's educational level falls. They also found that nurses were more likely than doctors to experience nonphysical violence.…”

Cyber obsessive stalking is a form of cyber violence that comprises a variety of unfavorable behavior patterns and is thought to be an extension of classic persistent stalking in online settings. Research shows that healthcare professionals are vulnerable to cyber-obsessive harassment due to the negative perception that patients are not satisfied with the service they receive and that their treatment processes are inadequately managed. The purpose of this study is to identify the experiences public and private sector nurses have had with cyber-obsessive stalking. In this cross-sectional study, 165 nurses who work in both the public and commercial sectors make up the study group. Data collecting techniques were the Personal Information Form and the Cyber Obsessive Stalking Scale. The scale, which asks how often cyber-obsessive stalking behaviors have been encountered, has 15 items and includes excessive closeness, threat, and transference components. A statistical package application was used to examine the data that were gathered online. According to the data of the analysis, 72.7% of the participants had at least one experience with cyber obsessive stalker behavior. While exposure to influence-oriented messages was the most frequent conduct, with a rate of 61.2%, exposure to auto, home, and office listening behavior was the least common cyber obsessive stalking behavior. The extreme closeness component of the scale had the highest mean score, while transference was the most prevalent activity. Healthcare professionals face risks such as patient dissatisfaction with the care they receive, societal perceptions of poorly managed treatment processes, and, in some cases, the possibility of patients engaging in cyber-obsessive tracking for emotional and/or sexual reasons. The results of this study show that cyber obsessive stalking behaviors are observed among the nurses participating in the study.
