Workplace violence toward nurses has increased during the last decade with serious consequences that may extend beyond individual nurses to an entire health care organisation. The variety of definitions of workplace violence experienced by registered nurses contribute to a lack of clarity about what it constitutes, which in turn jeopardizes the reporting of incidences by nurses. Drawing on the relevant literature from 1990 to 2005, a concept analysis using Walker and Avant's framework was undertaken to develop an operational definition of this phenomenon as experienced by registered nurses (excluding mental health nurses). Having a clear understanding of workplace violence assists with the creation of strategies aimed at preventing and/or resolving this problem.
在过去十年中，针对护士的职场暴力有所增加，其严重后果可能不仅影响个别护士，还会波及整个医疗保健机构。注册护士所经历的职场暴力存在多种定义，这导致人们对其构成缺乏清晰认识，进而危及护士对事件的报告。借鉴1990年至2005年的相关文献，运用沃克和阿万特的框架进行了一项概念分析，以制定出注册护士（不包括精神科护士）所经历的这一现象的操作性定义。清楚了解职场暴力有助于制定旨在预防和/或解决这一问题的策略。
