“…The logistical regression reinforced these findings. It also reinforced the idea that workers with higher seniority are less exposed to WPV, consistent with several other studies [26,38,39]. Studies have shown that professional experience improves the ability to manage conflict situations with angry patients [10].…”

Workplace violence (WPV) against healthcare workers, a serious public health problem with profound implications, has worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the incidence of different types of WPV in a public hospital in Israel during the pandemic and analyzes the factors associated with its occurrence. A cross-sectional study was performed via an online questionnaire with 486 workers at a government hospital in Israel. Data were collected about sociodemographic and occupational characteristics, exposure to different forms of WPV over the preceding six months, and the responsibility and reasons for WPV from the workers’ perspective. Approximately 71% of respondents were exposed to WPV and 64% perceived that WPV escalated during the pandemic. The prevalence of verbal/psychological and physical WPV were 69 and 11%, respectively. The main reason for WPV was frustration over long wait times (70%). The escalation during the pandemic can be attributed to patients’ or relatives’ anxiety and mental states following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (72%), an increase in waiting time since the pandemic began (54%), lack of hospital resources to care for everyone (45%), and the inability to visit critically ill relatives with COVID-19 (44%). Increased exposure to WPV was attributed to lower seniority, working in emergency or internal departments, and being a nurse or a doctor. The findings raise an urgent need to develop strategies to reduce WPV in hospitals at all levels: national, organizational, and individual. Further research could focus on the effectiveness of innovative strategies and interventions to prevent violence against healthcare workers.

“…The majority of participants reported rarely being treated with courtesy and respect by coworkers, highlighting a prevalent issue of workplace disrespect. This aligns with previous research indicating that lateral violence is a common issue in nursing, contributing to a stressful and hostile work environment (10)(11)(12)(13).…”

“…This phenomenon creates a toxic work environment, contributing to increased stress, job dissatisfaction, and potentially compromising patient care (6)(7). It is crucial to address lateral violence effectively to improve the overall healthcare environment and ensure the well-being of both healthcare providers and patients (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). This study aims to assess the prevalence and causes of lateral violence among nurses at Jinnah Hospital Lahore.…”

Background: Lateral violence, also known as horizontal hostility, significantly impacts the healthcare sector, particularly affecting nurses. This form of workplace violence includes behaviors such as bullying, verbal abuse, and psychological harassment among colleagues, leading to a hostile work environment and compromised patient care. Objective: To assess the prevalence and causes of lateral violence among nurses at Jinnah Hospital Lahore. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over six months involving a convenient sample of 160 nurses at Jinnah Hospital Lahore. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire designed to assess lateral violence. Descriptive statistics were applied using SPSS version 25 to analyze the data. Results: Among the nurses surveyed, 22.5% reported often being treated with courtesy and respect by coworkers, while 51.9% rarely experienced such treatment. Misunderstandings caused by cultural differences were identified as a major cause of lateral violence by 65.0% of participants, and 56.9% cited the unwillingness of coworkers and leaders to intervene as a significant factor. Additionally, 50.0% of participants admitted to often losing patience and being less polite to coworkers. Conclusion: The study highlights the high prevalence of lateral violence among nurses at Jinnah Hospital Lahore, primarily driven by cultural misunderstandings and lack of intervention. Addressing these issues through targeted educational programs and leadership training is essential to create a more respectful and supportive work environment.

“…In a recent study carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic in healthcare workers, it was observed that seniority lowers the chance of being exposed to WPV (Dopelt et al, 2022). Numerous studies show that professional experience improves the ability to manage conflict situations with angry patients (Li et al, 2018;Shapiro et al, 2022;Sharipova et al, 2010).…”

Objective. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of psychosocial risks based on the demographic variables of sex, age, and seniority, on the perception of workplace violence in a group of workers from Spanish companies. Methods. a total of 22 Spanish companies were analysed between 2016 and 2018 with a total sample of 26741 people using the FPSICO 3.1 psychosocial assessment method and divided into demographic groups of sex, age, and seniority for subsequent comparison of means and regression analysis. Results. The results confirm the relationship between psychosocial risks and the perception of workplace violence. The analysesby demographic variables position the group of men as the group with the highest perception of workplace violence, except for discrimination, where it was higher in the group of women. The results confirm that the perception of workplace violence increases significantly with age and seniority in the company. Conclusions. workplace violence is one of the most worrying risk factors today and it is necessary to better understand what risk factors can favour its appearance or its differentiated behaviour according to sex, age, or seniority. This can allow us to develop planned strategies to control this risk and focus on specific demographic groups.
