Workplace violence towards workers in the emergency departments of Palestinian hospitals: a cross-sectional study - PubMed
Summary:This study conducted in Palestinian hospitals aimed to assess workplace violence towards workers in emergency departments. The results showed that the majority of participants (76.1%) experienced some form of violence in the past 12 months, with the most common type being non-physical assaults (69.8% verbal abuses, 48.4% threats, and 8.6% sexual harassment). Younger personnel, clinicians, and less experienced ED personnel were found to be at higher risk of exposure to workplace violence. The study also found that reporting of violence is low, likely due to a lack of actions being taken and fear of consequences. The study emphasizes the need for strengthening violence prevention policies and measures, as well as improving incident-reporting systems.Keywords: workplace violence, emergency departments, Palestine, risk factors, consequences.
