“…Of the twelve studies included in this integrative review, all discussed the prevalence of bullying and violence towards midwifery students in clinical settings, whilst undertaking their Bachelor of Midwifery degree ( Gillen et al., 2009 ; Steen 2011 ; Boyle and McKenna 2016 ; McKenna and Boyle 2016 ; Arundell et al., 2018 ; Hogan et al., 2018 ; Shapiro et al., 2018 ; Capper et al., 2020a ; Capper et al., 2020b ; Capper et al., 2020c ; Capper et al., 2021a ; Capper et al., 2021b ).

“…However, the characteristics of violence and the responses of nursing students were unclear. Research found that midwifery students discussed the incident with acquaintance after a violence incident and few of them completed an incident report or received official debriefing [ 11 ]. Some students may worry about losing their job after the violence, while others do not trust the hospital staff.…”

Background Nursing students are one of the most vulnerable groups suffering from workplace violence. This study aimed to investigate the workplace violence incidence of Chinese nursing students during clinical practice, to describe the characteristics of violence and students’ responses and to analyse the relationship between the experience of workplace violence and professional identity. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 954 nursing students in ten universities in China through convenience sampling. Workplace violence was surveyed through Hospital Workplace Violence Questionnaire for Nursing Students. Students’ professional identity was measured by Professional Identity Questionnaire for Nursing Students. Statistical methods included descriptive statistics, chi-square test, independent-samples t-test, analysis of variance and linear regression analysis. Results It was found that the incidence of workplace violence among nursing students was 42.98%. The violent incidents ranking from high to low were: verbal abuse, threat, physical attack, sexual harassment, and gathering disturbance. The majority of the nursing students chose to avoid the conflict during the incident. 86.34% of the students didn’t report the incidents. More than half of the victims developed post-traumatic stress disorder after the incidents. Regression analysis results showed that workplace violence experience (β = − 0.076, P < 0.05) was a significantly negative predictor of professional identity. Conclusions Chinese nursing students were exposed to physical and psychological violence during clinical practice with insufficient coping solutions and psychological adjustment. The professional identity of the nursing students was significantly associated with the experience of workplace violence.

“…When considering professionals' training, we need to reflect on the notion that midwife students can learn about how they might act violently while training because this occurs during their training [43]. At the same time, this violence is diluted in a sea of horizontal violence, which is neither reported nor made visible [44]. Too many activists worldwide in general, and in Spain in particular, continue to highlight that healthcare studies that contemplate the gender data gaps that exist for diseases and treatments and psychological processes, such as pregnancy, birth, or menopause, are still lacking [36].…”

Background: Obstetric violence is a worldwide public health problem, which seems greater in Spain. As no studies were found that identify the most representative healthcare professionals, times, and areas involved in obstetric violence, the objective of this work was to study at what time of maternity, with which professionals, and in what areas women identified obstetric violence. Methods: This descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was performed from January 2018 to June 2019. The main variables were the area (hospital, primary care, both), the time (pregnancy, birth, puerperium), and the professionals attending to women. Results: Our sample comprised 17,541 participants. The area identified with the most obstetric violence for the different studied variables was hospitals. Women identified more obstetric violence at time of birth. Findings such as lack of information and informed consent (74.2%), and criticism of infantile behavior and treatment (87.6%), stood out. The main identified healthcare professionals were midwives and gynecologists, and “other” professionals repeatedly appeared. Conclusions: Having identified the professionals, times, and areas of most obstetric violence in Spain, it seems necessary to reflect on not only the Spanish National Health System’s structure and management but also on healthcare professionals’ training.
