To clarify the concept of workplace violence in nursing and propose an operational definition of the concept.
The review method used was Walker and Avant's eight-step method.
Identification of the key attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents of the concept resulted in an operational definition of the concept. The proposed operational definition identifies workplace violence experienced by nurses as any act or threat of verbal or physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the worksite with the intention of abusing or injuring the target.
Developing insights into the concept will assist in the design of new research scales that can effectively measure the underlying issues, provide a framework that facilitates nursing interventions, and improve the validity of future studies.
阐明护理工作场所暴力的概念，并提出该概念的操作性定义。
采用的综述方法是沃克和阿凡特的八步法。
对该概念的关键属性、前因、后果及实证指标进行识别后得出了该概念的操作性定义。所提出的操作性定义将护士所经历的工作场所暴力界定为在工作场所发生的、意图虐待或伤害目标对象的任何言语或身体暴力行为、威胁、骚扰、恐吓或其他具有威胁性的破坏性行为。
深入了解该概念将有助于设计新的研究量表，以有效测量潜在问题，提供便于护理干预的框架，并提高未来研究的效度。
