Workplace violence against female nurses is an increasing problem. In addition, recognition the rights of patients can reduce such violence against female nurses. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate workplace violence against female nurses in respect with patients' bill of rights at two public hospitals of Ilam in 2012.
In a descriptive cross-sectional research, workplace violence against female nurses was studied. Data were gathered employing a researcher made questionnaire filled out by 106 female nurses. The questionnaire was on workplace, physical and verbal violence of patients and their attendants, and also the patient's rights as respected by nursing staff. Permission of university ethics committee was obtained. Data analyses were done by T-test and ANOVA in SPSS software.
Totally, 90.6 % and 15.1 % of the participants were subjected to verbal and physical assaults by patients, respectively during last year of the study. Further, 92.5% and 11.3% of nurses experienced verbal and physical assaults by the patients' attendants, respectively. Most of the nursing staff believed that reporting aggressive attacks to the concerned officials would not be useful. A negative significant correlation was found between the aggressions of patients with age as well as marital status of nurses, (P= 0.04). Furthermore, a significant association was seen between physical violence of patients and the nurses' recognition of the patients' bill of rights (P= 0.03).
Due to high rate of violence against female nurses, some proper and effective actions such as employing a trained security force along with legal punitive charges against violators through responsible officials are highly suggested.
针对女护士的工作场所暴力问题日益严重。此外，尊重患者权利可减少此类针对女护士的暴力行为。因此，本研究旨在调查2012年伊朗伊拉姆市两家公立医院中与患者权利法案相关的针对女护士的工作场所暴力情况。
在一项描述性横断面研究中，对针对女护士的工作场所暴力进行了研究。数据通过由106名女护士填写的研究人员自制问卷收集。该问卷涉及工作场所、患者及其陪护人员的身体和言语暴力，以及护理人员对患者权利的尊重情况。获得了大学伦理委员会的许可。在SPSS软件中通过T检验和方差分析进行数据分析。
在研究的最后一年，分别有90.6%和15.1%的参与者遭受患者的言语攻击和身体攻击。此外，分别有92.5%和11.3%的护士遭受患者陪护人员的言语攻击和身体攻击。大多数护理人员认为向相关官员报告攻击行为不会有效果。患者的攻击行为与护士的年龄以及婚姻状况之间存在显著负相关（P = 0.04）。此外，患者的身体暴力与护士对患者权利法案的认知之间存在显著关联（P = 0.03）。
鉴于针对女护士的暴力发生率较高，强烈建议采取一些适当有效的行动，如配备训练有素的安保人员，并通过负责官员对违规者提出法律惩罚指控。
