A literature analysis shows that nurses are at greater risk of being stalked both by ex-partners and acquaintances (such as colleagues and patients) and by unknown stalkers. The aim of this study was to explore Italian nurses' experience of stalking. A copy of the Italian modified version of the Networking for Surviving Stalking (NSS) Questionnaire on Stalking, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and State Trait Inventory (STAI) Y1-Y2 scales were distributed to 2,000 nurses working in 4 Italian state hospitals. There were 765 nurses who returned the questionnaire (38.4%), 107 of whom had been victims (14.0%). On average, victims had been stalked for more than 12 months by an acquaintance (41.1%), whose behavior included unwanted communications, following, control, and threatening behavior. The coping strategies used most involved offensive and interactional tactics. Stalking has both emotional and physical consequences for victims, although depression levels were not as high as we expected (BDI M = 11.05, SD = 8.84; STAI Y1 M = 42.11, SD = 11.75; STAIY2 M = 44.04, SD = 12.90). The need to adopt legal, organizational, and individual strategies is also discussed.
一项文献分析表明，护士被前任伴侣、熟人（如同事和患者）以及陌生跟踪者跟踪的风险更高。本研究的目的是探索意大利护士的跟踪经历。将意大利语修改版的跟踪生存网络（NSS）跟踪问卷、贝克抑郁量表（BDI）以及状态特质焦虑量表（STAI）Y1 - Y2分量表分发给在4家意大利国立医院工作的2000名护士。有765名护士返回了问卷（38.4%），其中107名曾是受害者（14.0%）。受害者平均被熟人跟踪超过12个月（41.1%），熟人的行为包括不必要的通信、跟踪、控制和威胁行为。最常使用的应对策略涉及攻击性和互动性策略。跟踪对受害者既有情感上的影响，也有身体上的影响，尽管抑郁水平没有我们预期的那么高（BDI M = 11.05，SD = 8.84；STAI Y1 M = 42.11，SD = 11.75；STAI Y2 M = 44.04，SD = 12.90）。还讨论了采取法律、组织和个人策略的必要性。
