“…Verbal attack rates were 67%, and physical attack rates were 16% in a similar study conducted in Turkey. In this study, they reported no gender difference in attack rates (31), as in our study. Although Acik et al (31) reported that attacks were mostly observed in surgical units, there was no difference between medical and surgical clinics in terms of exposure to attack in our study.…”

“…In this study, they reported no gender difference in attack rates (31), as in our study. Although Acik et al (31) reported that attacks were mostly observed in surgical units, there was no difference between medical and surgical clinics in terms of exposure to attack in our study. However, this might be due to todays changing health policies, ease of access to doctors in both surgical and internal branches, and increased expectations from doctors.…”

“…Although different aspects of physical and verbal attacks in healthcare have been reported in a number of studies, the reports on this topic are limited in our country (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33). For this reason, we aimed to investigate assaults on doctors working at the Canakkale State Hospital and the Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University in Turkey.…”

Evaluation of assaults on doctors in Canakkale within the last yearObjective: Violence against doctors and health professionals in the healthcare environment is thought to have increased in recent years. Although physical and verbal assaults in the health care system have been evaluated in many different aspects, a limited amount of research has been done in this field in our country.For this reason, we aimed to investigate assaults towards doctors working at the Çanakkale State Hospital and Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University in Turkey.Method: A questionnaire was prepared by researchers assessing assaults within the last year on doctors working in the state and university hospitals. Data from 130 doctors who agreed to participation in the study were analysed with SPSS version 16. Descriptive statistics, independent sample T-test for normally distributed variables and Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed variables were used to compare the groups.Results: We found that 59.2% (n=77) of the doctors were verbally and/or physically assaulted at least once during the past year. The majority of attackers consisted of relatives of patients (40.8% verbal attack, n=31).The verbal assaults mostly occurred in outpatient clinics (61.5%), with half of the physical assaults occurring in the emergency department. The vast majority of doctors considered that poor health policies were the most important reason for assaults (83.3%, n=65), and nearly all of them thought that violence towards doctors has increased in recent years (97.4%). Conclusion:The fact that most of the doctors exposed to assaults, regardless of gender, institution, or work position, perceived health policies as being responsible for this violent atmosphere, is very striking. We believe that larger sample-size and comprehensive countrywide studies in this area would help to provide solutions for this problem. Sonuç: Hekimlerin önemli bir bölümünün cinsiyet, çalıştıkları kurum ve konumdan bağımsız olarak, saldırılardan benzer oranda etkilenmesi ve uygulanan sağlık politikalarını var olan şiddet ortamının sorumlusu olarak görmesi oldukça çarpıcıdır. Bu alanda, daha geniş örneklem ile daha kapsamlı, ülke genelinde yapılacak çalışmaların, bu sorunun çözümüne ilişkin çıkış yolları sağlayacağını düşünmekteyiz.

“…Moreover, research emphasizes that nurses are at the greatest risk for work-place violence. In studies conducted with medical students, a group similar to nursing students in Turkey, Acik et al [32] found that verbal aggression was reported by 65% of students and physical violence reported by 33%, while Aydın et al [33] reported verbal aggression rates at 88.3% and physical violence at 2.9%. Although these are similar findings, the reported rates differ depending on participants and type of violence.…”
