Aim: To understand workplace violence and its impact on nurses through literature review. Background: Violence in mainstream society has permeated the workplace, especially the healthcare work environment. Violence against nurses from various sources and groups of people such as colleagues, clients/patients, and families/guests are on the rise. In their roles as Clinicians, nurses require a healthy work environment to achieve effective positive patient outcomes. Understanding the impact of workplace violence against nurses becomes paramount. Method: Comprehensive searches were conducted using scholar search engines to identify published articles on workplace violence affecting nurses. Articles were appraised and validated. The studies varied in design from randomized to nonrandomized, longitudinal, and cohort. Results: The literature suggests that nurses are exposed to various types of workplace violence, which can be physical, psychological, verbal abuse, and other threats. Conclusion: Given the limited literature on workplace violence especially on nurses and how to support them, further research is required on this subject. Implications for Nursing Management: Healthcare delivery in the 21st century demands that nursing leadership make a dedicated effort to nurture a healthy work environment in support of nurses’ positive outcomes, intensify advocacy and formulate policies to address workplace violence against nurses

“…Due to the importance of WPV, several studies had been conducted to explore the factors associated with WPV against medical staff, and several associated factors were identified, such as social-demographic (12,13), psychological and physical health (9,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18), and work-related variables (19)(20)(21)(22). For work-related variables, most of these studies focused on the association between work stress, work burnout, social support, work environment, and WPV (19)(20)(21)(22).…”

BackgroundWorkplace violence (WPV) against medical staff has been an important public health and societal problem worldwide. Although numerous studies have implied the differences between physical violence (PV) and verbal violence (VV) against medical staff, few studies were conducted to analyze the different associations between work-related variables, PV, and VV, especially in China.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among Chinese medical staff in public hospitals, and 3,426 medical staff were interviewed and analyzed. WPV, including PV and VV, were evaluated by the self-report of the medical staff. Work-related variables, physical disease, depression, and social-demographic variables were also measured. The work-related variables included types of medical staff, professional titles, hospital levels, managers, working years, job changing, working hours/week, night duty times/week, monthly income, self-reported working environment, and social position. Logistic regressions were conducted to examine the factors associated with PV and VV.ResultsA total of 489 medical staff (23.0%) reported the experience of PV and 1,744 (50.9%) reported the experience of VV. Several work-related variables were associated with PV and VV, including nurse (OR = 0.56 for PV, p < 0.01; OR = 0.76 for VV, p < 0.05), manager (OR = 1.86 for PV, p < 0.01; OR = 1.56 for VV, p < 0.001), night duty frequency/week (OR = 1.06 for PV, p < 0.01; OR = 1.03 for VV, p < 0.01), bad working environment (OR = 2.73 for PV, p < 0.001; OR = 3.52 for VV, p < 0.001), averaged working environment (OR = 1.51 for PV, p < 0.05; OR = 1.55 for VV, p < 0.001), and bad social position (OR = 4.21 for PV, p < 0.001; OR = 3.32 for VV, p < 0.001). Working years (OR = 1.02, p < 0.05), job changing (OR = 1.33, p < 0.05), and L2 income level (OR = 1.33, p < 0.01) were positively associated with VV, but the associations were not supported for PV (all p>0.05). The other associated factors were male gender (OR = 1.97 for PV, p < 0.001; OR = 1.28 for VV, p < 0.05) and depression (OR = 1.05 for PV, p < 0.001; OR = 1.04 for VV, p < 0.001).ConclusionBoth PV and VV were positively associated with work-related variables, such as doctor, manager, more night duty frequency, perceived bad working environment, or social position. Some variables were only associated with VV, such as working years, job changing, and monthly income. Some special strategies for the work-related variables should be applied for controlling PV and VV.

“…WPV against HCW contributes to fatal and non-fatal trauma resulting in a myriad of negative consequences including death, missed, or reduced working hours from disability, depression, PTSD, burn-out, and increased rates of defensive medical practice 17. The end result is substandard care, decreased patient satisfaction, increased frequency of adverse medical events, decreased access to care, diminished productivity from the healthcare team, and increased worker turnover 17–19…”

Workplace violence is any physical assault, threatening behavior or other verbal abuse directed toward persons at work or in the workplace. The incidence of workplace violence in healthcare settings in general and more specifically the pain clinic is thought to be underestimated due to hesitancy to report, lack of support from management and healthcare systems, and lack of institutional policies as it relates to violence from patients against healthcare workers. In the following article, we explore risk factors that place clinicians at risk of workplace violence, the cost and impact of workplace violence, how to build a violence prevention program and lastly how to recover from violence in the practice setting.
