A nationwide survey of hospital human resources managers reveals that allegations of sexual harassment in hospitals are increasing. Reported statistics for a 4.5-year period show that nurses continue to bring the largest number of charges. Most are "hostile environment" allegations, and most formal charges are levied against coworkers. When compared to data gathered in an earlier survey, these statistics show an alarming trend. A significant increase in allegations occurred in 1999 and 2000, corresponding to two US Supreme Court rulings that clarify an employer's responsibility to eliminate this form of sexual discrimination from the workplace.
一项针对医院人力资源经理的全国性调查显示，医院中关于性骚扰的指控正在增加。一项为期4.5年的报告统计数据表明，护士提出的指控数量仍然最多。大多数是“不良工作环境”的指控，并且大多数正式指控是针对同事提出的。与早期调查收集的数据相比，这些统计数据显示出一个惊人的趋势。在1999年和2000年，指控数量显著增加，这与美国最高法院的两项裁决相对应，这两项裁决明确了雇主有责任消除工作场所中的这种形式的性别歧视。
