The purpose of this study was to describe and compare medical and non-medical individuals' violence severity rank for 13 commonly cited events illustrative of workplace violence. One hundred thirty-six college students were provided a short checklist of 13 violent events in the workplace to determine the violence severity rank for each event. Two groups of college students with (n = 69) and without (n = 67) medical background participated. Student and registered nurses (medical group) agreed on the violence severity ranking of all 13 often-cited workplace violence events. Non-medical and medical groups, however, did not always agree on the degree of violence severity, especially for physical and sexual workplace violence events. Differences between groups may be explained by the possibility that nurses are socialized or desensitized in practice to possibly accept some workplace violence events as "part of the job." Gastroenterology nurses can benefit from this study by raising their sensitivity to and awareness of workplace violence in the practice setting.
本研究的目的是描述并比较医疗人员和非医疗人员对13起常见的职场暴力事件的暴力严重程度排名。136名大学生收到一份包含13起职场暴力事件的简短清单,以确定每起事件的暴力严重程度排名。两组大学生参与了研究,一组有医学背景(n = 69),另一组没有医学背景(n = 67)。学生和注册护士(医疗组)对所有13起经常被提及的职场暴力事件的暴力严重程度排名达成了一致。然而,非医疗组和医疗组在暴力严重程度上并不总是意见一致,尤其是在身体暴力和性暴力的职场暴力事件上。两组之间的差异可能是因为护士在实践中逐渐适应或对某些职场暴力事件变得麻木,从而可能将其视为“工作的一部分”。消化内科护士可以通过提高对实践环境中职场暴力的敏感度和认识,从本研究中受益。
