This study explored the rates of exposure to violence among physicians, nurses, and other health care staff members working at the locked psychiatric clinics, to examine the quantity and types of violence exposed, and to compare occupational groups by the level of exposure to violence. In parallel with the existing literature, the present study supports the proposition that physicians and nurses working at psychiatric units represent a risky group in terms of exposure to violence. The survey found that 87.6% of staff members viewed security measures insufficient. It is considered by the authors that preventive actions should be taken to reduce the risk of exposure to violence against the staff members working at the locked psychiatric clinics.
本研究探讨了在封闭式精神病诊所工作的医生、护士及其他医护人员遭受暴力侵害的比率,以检查所遭受暴力的数量和类型,并按暴力暴露水平对职业群体进行比较。与现有文献一致,本研究支持这样一种观点,即在精神病科室工作的医生和护士在遭受暴力方面属于高风险群体。调查发现,87.6%的工作人员认为安全措施不足。作者认为应采取预防措施,以降低在封闭式精神病诊所工作的工作人员遭受暴力侵害的风险。
