'Negligence of Physicians' and 'Wrong Treatment' have become commonly-used phrases in print and electronic media of Bangladesh, while violence against healthcare workers has always been under-reported. Unfortunately, there is little evidence regarding physical violence against healthcare workers, while there is no data on the magnitude of psychological violence. The objective of this study was to quantify and explore the magnitude of workplace violence in health sector of Bangladesh to guide future research and adopt preventive policies.
The Majority (96%, n = 54) of the violence cases were physical in nature and 91% violence (n = 51) took place in public healthcare settings. More than one-third (39%) of the violence cases occurred at primary healthcare level and one-third (39%) at tertiary healthcare level. It was mostly (61%) the entry-level physicians who were affected by violence. The report reveals the tip of the iceberg of workplace violence in health sector of Bangladesh. Further studies should be undertaken to assess the prevalence, magnitude, and associated factors for workplace violence against healthcare workers.
“医生失职”和“错误治疗”已成为孟加拉国印刷和电子媒体中常用的词汇，而针对医护人员的暴力行为一直未得到充分报道。不幸的是，关于针对医护人员身体暴力的证据很少，而关于心理暴力程度的数据则不存在。本研究的目的是量化和探讨孟加拉国卫生部门工作场所暴力的程度，以指导未来的研究并采取预防政策。
大多数（96%，n = 54）暴力案件是身体暴力性质的，91%的暴力行为（n = 51）发生在公共医疗环境中。超过三分之一（39%）的暴力案件发生在初级医疗保健层面，三分之一（39%）发生在三级医疗保健层面。受暴力影响的大多是（61%）初级医生。该报告揭示了孟加拉国卫生部门工作场所暴力的冰山一角。应进一步开展研究，以评估针对医护人员工作场所暴力的患病率、程度及相关因素。
