Violence against doctors at their workplace is not a new phenomenon. However, in recent times, reports of doctors getting thrashed by patients and their relatives are making headlines around the world and are shared extensively on social media. Almost every doctor is worried about violence at his/her workplace, and very few doctors are trained to avoid or deal with such situations. This article aims to discuss the risk factors associated with violence against doctors and the possible steps at a personal, institutional, or policy level that are needed to mitigate such incidents.
医生在工作场所遭受暴力并非新现象。然而，近年来，医生被患者及其亲属殴打之类的报道在世界各地成为头条新闻，并在社交媒体上广泛传播。几乎每位医生都担心自己工作场所会出现暴力事件，而且很少有医生接受过避免或应对此类情况的培训。本文旨在探讨与医生遭受暴力相关的风险因素，以及在个人、机构或政策层面为减少此类事件所需采取的可能措施。
