“…More than half of the health personnel in different countries has in the previous year experienced at least one incident of physical or psychological violence (23,24). Although, there is no national study investigating the prevalence of mobbing in the health sector in Turkey, there have been some local studies focusing on the limited number of female nurses, indicating that mobbing is an important issue (25-28). …”

AimTo determine the extent of Turkish junior male physicians’ exposure to mobbing behavior and its correlation with physicians' characteristics.MethodsThe study included physicians recruited for compulsory military service in April 2009. No sampling method was used, questionnaires were delivered to all physicians, and 278 of 292 (95%) questionnaires were returned. We used Leymann Inventory of Psychological Terror including 45 items for data collection and structural equation model for data analysis.ResultsA total of 87.7% of physicians experienced mobbing behavior. Physicians who worked more than 40 hours a week, single physicians, physicians working in university hospitals and private hospitals, and physicians who did not have occupational commitment were more exposed to mobbing (P < 0.05). Mobbing was not associated with specialty status, service period, age, and personality variables (P > 0.05). All goodness-of- fit indices of the model were acceptable (χ2 = 1.449, normed fit index = 0.955, Tucker Lewis index = 0.980, comparative fit index = 0.985, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.040).ConclusionsWorkplace mobbing is a critical problem for junior male physicians in Turkey. We suggest an introduction of a reporting system and education activities for physicians in high-risk groups.

“…These behaviours may be shown either by superiors or by coworkers and subordinates7 and gradually but inexorably mobbing victims become isolated, exposed to psychological abuse, given jobs inappropriate for their qualifications and paid lower to force them to quit their jobs 8. As many studies have recently stressed, a large part of the workforce consists of women4 who are usually employed in healthcare jobs, especially as nurses 9–11.…”

What kind of diagnosis in a case of mobbing: post-traumatic stress disorder or adjustment disorder?

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the last decade a consistent increase in stress-related psychological consequences at the workplace, usually called ‘mobbing’, has been seen. It claimed physical, psychical and social distress as its victims, leading to an increased incidence of many illnesses, such as psychosomatic disorders (ache, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue and insomnia) and psychiatric disturbances (high level of anxiety, depression and suicidal attempts). It was recently demonstrated that mobbing is significantly widespread among healthcare workers, especially among female nurses. In this report, we illustrate the case of a nurse who, after a brilliant career, underwent mobbing at the workplace, showing depression, anxiety and sleep disorders that required hospitalisation and a substantial intervention.

“…Esses pontos devem ser rigorosamente considerados, pois tendem a aumentar em paralelo com o aumento da agressão psicológica sofrida pelo trabalhador (3) . Ressalta-se que a prática do assédio moral afeta a integridade física e/ou psicológica de um indivíduo, o que pode ocasionar depressões, angústias, insegurança, insônia, falta de iniciativa, estresse, dores, disfunções no aparelho respiratório, podendo chegar a arriscar, de forma fatal, a vida da vítima (4) . O assédio moral pode ocorrer de quatro maneiras distintas, que variam conforme a posição hierárquica da vítima e do assediador no processo de trabalho: 1) o assédio descendente, em que o subordinado é agredido por um superior, sendo considerada a mais grave e frequente; 2) o assédio horizontal, que é aquele em que a agressão é efetivada por um colega de trabalho do mesmo nível hierárquico; 3) o assédio ascendente, que se configura quando um superior é assediado por um ou vários subordinados; 4) o assédio misto, quando ocorre, simultaneamente, mais de uma forma de assédio (5) .…”

RESUMO:Objetivou-se sintetizar a produção científica acerca da prática do assédio moral no âmbito da Enfermagem, em periódicos disponíveis online, no período de 2005 a novembro de 2012. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada através das bases de dados da Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, do Índice Bibliográfico Espanhol em Ciências da Saúde e da Literatura Internacional em Ciências da Saúde. A análise de 15 artigos revelou que a prevalência da prática do assédio moral na Enfermagem tem crescido, de forma significativa, essencialmente entre os trabalhadores do sexo feminino. As investigações mostraram que o assédio moral acarreta sérias consequências para a saúde do trabalhador, sendo estas, em sua maioria, de ordem psicológica. Logo, verifica-se a necessidade da criação de propostas para prevenção e até mesmo eliminação de tal prática. DESCRITORES: Estresse psicológico; Saúde do trabalhador; Enfermagem.

This is an integrative review of the literature, undertaken using the following databases: the Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information, the Spanish Bibliographic Index on Health Sciences, and the International Literature in Health Sciences. The analysis of 15 articles revealed that the prevalence of the practice of psychological harassment in Nursing has grown significantly, particularly among female workers. The investigations showed that psychological harassment entails serious consequences for the worker's health, most of which are of a psychological nature. Thus, the need is verified for creating proposals for the prevention and even elimination of this practice.
