This study sought to assess workplace violence in a Greek tertiary hospital for the first time. The authors conducted a descriptive study with 175 participants and examined the characteristics of violent episodes, the responses of victims and the administration, and the perception of workplace safety in addition to the implications of these incidents. The vast majority of employees (83.4%) had experienced work-related violence; however, half of them (52%) had not reported the incident to the hospital administration. Verbal violence was the most common type of incident (98.6%). Nurses and other health care staff reported feeling safer than physicians (odds ratio [OR] = 4.47, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.94-10.28 and OR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.64-8.74, respectively). A large proportion of victims (72.6%) suffered psychological consequences following the violent incident. This study reveals the high prevalence of workplace violence in a Greek tertiary hospital and underscores its negative impact on health care workers.
本研究首次试图评估一家希腊三级医院中的工作场所暴力情况。作者对175名参与者进行了一项描述性研究，除了这些事件的影响外，还考察了暴力事件的特征、受害者和管理层的反应以及对工作场所安全的认知。绝大多数员工（83.4%）曾经历过与工作相关的暴力；然而，其中一半（52%）并未向医院管理层报告该事件。言语暴力是最常见的事件类型（98.6%）。护士和其他医护人员报告感觉比医生更安全（优势比[OR]=4.47，95%置信区间[CI]：1.94 - 10.28；以及OR = 2.80，95% CI：1.64 - 8.74）。很大一部分受害者（72.6%）在暴力事件后遭受了心理影响。本研究揭示了希腊一家三级医院中工作场所暴力的高发生率，并强调了其对医护人员的负面影响。
