Workplace violence in hospitals is recently becoming a major global concern in many countries. However, in Myanmar, we have felt that patients and their families have rarely made unreasonable complaints in hospitals, and then, the purpose of this study is to report the current state of workplace violence in hospitals in Myanmar. Participants are 196 physicians (108 males and 88 females) in hospitals in Myanmar.
A descriptive survey was conducted in regard to verbal abuse and physical violence from patients or the people concerned. At the results of this study, the percentages of physicians who have encountered verbal abuse and those who have encountered physical violence are markedly low (8.7 and 1.0%, respectively). The present study is the first to report the frequencies of verbal abuse and physical violence against physicians in a least developed country, and the results of the present study are important in terms of discussing workplace violence in hospitals.
医院工作场所暴力最近在许多国家成为全球主要关注的问题。然而，在缅甸，我们感觉患者及其家属在医院很少提出不合理投诉，因此，本研究的目的是报告缅甸医院工作场所暴力的现状。参与者为缅甸医院的196名医生（108名男性和88名女性）。
针对来自患者或相关人员的言语辱骂和身体暴力进行了描述性调查。在本研究结果中，遭遇言语辱骂和遭遇身体暴力的医生比例显著较低（分别为8.7%和1.0%）。本研究首次报告了最不发达国家针对医生的言语辱骂和身体暴力的发生率，本研究结果对于讨论医院工作场所暴力具有重要意义。
