“…Interventions for reducing these risk factors could be developed to assist workers to reduce irregular work arrangements and long hours of work, dealing with job insecurity, and effectively managing work‐life imbalances [Hammer et al, ; Kim et al, ]. Consultation and educational programs could also be developed to address workplace bullying and hostile work environments [Love et al, ]. Much of the prior research and policy recommendations have been limited to the occupational hazards of verbal coercion and physical assaults for healthcare workers.…”

Background Neck pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition among workers in the United States. This study explores a set of workplace psychosocial and organization-related factors for neck pain. Methods Data used for this study comes from the 2010 National Health interview Survey which provides a representative sample of the US population. To account for the complex sampling design, the Taylor linearized variance estimation method was used. Logistic regression models were constructed to measure the associations. Results This study demonstrated significant associations between neck pain and a set of workplace risk factors including work-family imbalance, exposure to a hostile work environment and job insecurity, non-standard work arrangements, multiple jobs and long work hours. Conclusion Workers with neck pain may benefit from intervention programs that address issues related to these workplace risk factors. Future studies exploring both psychosocial risk factors and physical risk factors with a longitudinal design will be important.

“…Because of the lack of standardized measurement and reporting mechanisms for workplace violence in the healthcare industry, 15 data are scarce, necessitating the need for research that explores violence against emergency nurses.

“…8 Many nurses believed that such incidents were part of the job and reporting them would not be helpful. 5,10,12,13,15 Violence in the ED In the hospital, violence occurs most frequently in psychiatric wards, EDs, waiting rooms, and geriatric units. 8 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's 9 (OSHA's) Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence for Health Care & Social Service Workers includes policy recommendations and practical methods to help prevent and reduce workplace violence.…”

“…5,14-17 Patient pain and discomfort, as well as the tension, stress, and anger of patients, family members, and visitors, are often escalated by cramped space, lack of privacy, and long waiting times. 15,17 In one study, 82% of emergency nurses indicated that they had been physically assaulted at work during the preceding year. 16,19,22 In addition, verbal abuse and physical assault in the ED can come from disruptive, intoxicated patients who are sometimes accompanied by other intoxicated or disruptive individuals.…”

“…15,16 Their direct and continual interaction with patients and the fact that most professionals are women may contribute towards the greater risk of aggression. 15,16 In general, nursing professionals were not immune to situations of violence; on the contrary, within the municipality of Sao Paulo, higher rates of violence were found among them than in the female population at large, as occurred in Canada as well. 11 It is possible that the ethical and methodological procedures taken in this study, including the fact that a nurse conducted most of the interviews, contributed towards a higher rate of disclosure.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the occurrence of psychological, physical and sexual violence among female nursing staff.METHODS: This is a cross sectional study, conducted with a sample of 179 professionals (50 nurses and 129 nursing aides / nurse technicians) in a general hospital in the municipality of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, 2005Brazil, -2006 A validated questionnaire was applied in face to face interviews with these professionals, conducted by trained interviewers. Psychological, physical and sexual forms of violence were addressed, involving both male and female aggressors who were classifi ed as: intimate partners, family members and other aggressors such as acquaintances and strangers. A descriptive analysis was undertaken, in which the frequency of the occurrence of the different types of violence was calculated with a 95% confi dence interval. RESULTS:The most frequent form of violence was intimate partner violence (63.7%; 95% CI: 55.7;70.4), followed by violence perpetrated by others (45.8%; 95% CI: 38.3;53.4) including patients and people accompanying them, colleagues within the fi eld of health, head nurses, acquaintances and strangers. Family members occupied the third place as aggressors, (41.3%; 95% CI: 34.0;48.9), and the majority of these were fathers, brothers, uncles and cousins. In general, the nursing staff did not seek help frequently when acts of aggression occurred: only 29.7% of those who suffered intimate partner violence; 20.3% whose aggressors were others and 29.3% whose aggressors were family members sought help. Those who did not perceive their experience as a form of violence represented 31.9% of the subjects interviewed. CONCLUSIONS:The rates of gender violence among female health professionals were important, particularly with respect to violence committed by intimate partners and family members. However, the proportion of these women who sought help was low, considering the fact that this group has a signifi cant educational level.
