“…Bireylere üst-leri, eşit düzeydeki çalışanlar veya astları tarafından sistematik biçimde uygulanan her tür kötü muamele, tehdit, şiddet, aşağı-lama gibi davranışları ifade eden anlamlar içerir (Tınaz, 2006). Hemşirelerin iş yerinde karşılaştıkları şiddet, hastalardan, hasta yakınlarından, hekimlerden ve hemşire arkadaşlarından kaynaklanır (Jackson, Clare & Mannix, 2002;St-Pierre & Holmes, 2008;Woelfle & McCaffrey, 2007). Hemşirelerin hemşirelere uyguladığı şiddet oldukça yaygındır.…”

ÖzÇalışma, öğrencilerin uygulama alanlarında karşılaştıkları şiddeti belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Haziran 2010 tarihinde bir haftalık sürede bir üniversitenin sağlık yüksekokulu hemşirelik öğrencilerine uygulanmıştır. Okulda toplam 360 öğrenci bulunmakta olup; 53'ü dördüncü sınıf, 60'ı üçüncü sınıf, 114'ü ikinci sınıf, 79'u birinci sınıf ve 102'si hazırlık sınıfında eğitim görmektedir. Hazırlık sınıfındaki öğrenciler uygulama dersleri bulunmadığından araştırmaya dahil edilmemiştir. Öğrencilerin %70,58'ne ulaşılmıştır. Öğrencilerin uygulama alanlarında çoğunlukla maruz kaldığı şiddet türü sözel şiddet ve cinsiyet ayrımcılığı olup şiddet uygulayanların kendi meslektaşları olduğu belirlenmiştir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Hemşirelik öğrencileri, Klinik ortam, Şiddet, Sözel şiddet, Cinsiyet ayrımcılığı ABSTRACTThe study was made to determine violence experienced by nurse students in clinical settings. It was applied to the School of Health Nursing Student of a university during a week in June, 2010. There were 360 students, 53 of whom were senior, 60 of whom were thirdyear, 114 of whom were sophomore, 79 of whom were first-year and 102 of whom were prep-school students, at the school. Students in preparatory classes were not included in the scope of the study since they didn't take applied courses. 70,58% of the students were reached. It was determined that the students were often exposed to verbal abuse and sexism in clinical setting and the abuse was performed by their colleagues.

“…Various initiatives have come from government (legislation, zero tolerance policies), organizations (policies/procedures, environmental design, education of workers) and industrial bodies (zero tolerance) 11,15,17,19,20 .

“…1,2 The definition used for this study complies and is taken as physical or verbal violence, which includes harassment. 3 The source of workplace violence is primarily from patients or their relatives; [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] however, there is also a large proportion of workplace violence (known as horizontal violence) from other health-care professionals, particularly nurses. [11][12][13][14] There is debate about the actual incidence of workplace violence towards nurses.…”

Acknowledgement:This and previous studies were funded by the Queensland Nurses" Union. We wish to thank all the members who responded to this survey for their participation. ABSTRACTNurses are at high risk of incurring workplace violence during their working life. This paper reports the findings on a cross sectional, descriptive, self-report, postal survey in 2007. A stratified random sample of 3,000 of the 29,789 members of the Queensland Nurses Union employed in the public, private and aged care sectors resulted in 1192 responses (39.7%). This paper reports the differences: between those nurses who experienced workplace violence and those who did not; across employment sectors. The incidence of workplace violence is highest in public sector nursing. Patients/clients/residents were the major perpetrators of workplace violence and the existence of a workplace policy did not decrease levels of workplace violence. Nurses providing clinical care in the private and aged care sectors experienced more workplace violence than more senior nurses. While workplace violence was associated with high work stress, teamwork and a supportive workplace mitigated workplace violence. The perception of workplace safety was inversely related to workplace violence. With the exception of public sector nursing, nurses reported an inverse relationship with workplace violence and morale.

“…The patients are controlled, regulated and treated by the physiotherapists within the sessions of treatment and are subject to a clinical ''gaze'', whereby they are transformed into a medical object (Bradbury-Jones, Sambrook, and Irvine, 2007;Gilbert, 2001). In that way, physiotherapy in private practice accidentally supports the omnipresent power of medical surveillance and discipline in modern Western societies (Foucault, , 1977Nugus et al, 2010;Stokes, 2004;St-Pierre and Holmes, 2008).…”

Physiotherapy as a disciplinary institution in modern society – a Foucauldian perspective on physiotherapy in Danish private practice

In many Western countries, physiotherapy in a private context is practiced and managed within a neoliberal ideology. Little is known about how private physiotherapeutic practice functions, which is why this study aims to explore how physiotherapy is practiced from the perspective of physiotherapists in Danish private practice, within a Foucauldian perspective. This study consisted of 21 interviews with physiotherapists employed in private practice and observation notes of the clinic. Interviews and observation notes were analyzed through the lens of Foucault's concepts of discipline, self-discipline, power and resistance. Three categories were constructed: (1) the tacit transition from person to patient; (2) the art of producing docile bodies; and (3) the inhibition of freedom of action by practicing in private homes. From a Foucauldian perspective, private physiotherapeutic practices have a disciplinary function in modern society as the physiotherapists produce docile bodies through disciplinary technologies, whereby their business becomes profitable. Most patients support the physiotherapists' "regime of truth" but if they resist, they are either excluded or accepted as "abnormal" but as a necessary source of income. The physiotherapists appear to be unconscious of the bio-powers working "behind their backs" as they are subject to the Western medical logic, and the neoliberal framework that rules their businesses.

Managing nurses through disciplinary power: a Foucauldian analysis of workplace violence

Abstract: By associating common workplace practices with institutional violence, employers who have a policy of zero tolerance toward workplace violence will need to re-examine their current ways of operating.
