In the professional realm, the healthcare sector stands out as one of the most susceptible to violence. One notable manifestation of this is violence among colleagues, commonly referred to as horizontal violence, which has garnered significant attention in recent times. To delve deeper into this phenomenon across various categories of healthcare professionals, a comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL, resulting in the inclusion of 13 articles. The findings of this narrative review illuminate how horizontal violence can manifest in both physical and psychological forms and how it often becomes normalized among the healthcare professionals who endure it. Particularly vulnerable to such occurrences are recent graduates and those with limited professional experience. Furthermore, it has been observed that horizontal violence has detrimental effects on the well-being of those subjected to it, as well as on the quality of patient care delivered. Considering preventive measures, numerous studies emphasize the pivotal role of effective departmental leadership in fostering a harmonious work environment. Despite the largely underreported nature of this phenomenon, the conclusions drawn in this study advocate for a deeper exploration of the dynamics surrounding horizontal violence, with the goal of devising targeted strategies to mitigate its occurrence.
在专业领域，医疗保健部门是最容易遭受暴力的行业之一。其中一个显著表现就是同事之间的暴力行为，通常被称为横向暴力，近年来这一现象受到了广泛关注。为了更深入地研究各类医疗保健专业人员中的这一现象，我们在PubMed、Scopus和CINAHL数据库中进行了全面检索，最终纳入了13篇文章。这篇叙述性综述的结果揭示了横向暴力如何以身体和心理形式表现出来，以及它如何在遭受这种暴力的医疗保健专业人员中常常变得常态化。刚毕业的学生和专业经验有限的人员尤其容易遭遇此类事件。此外，据观察，横向暴力对遭受其害的人员的幸福感以及所提供的患者护理质量都有不利影响。在考虑预防措施方面，众多研究强调了有效的部门领导在营造和谐工作环境方面的关键作用。尽管这一现象在很大程度上未得到充分报道，但本研究得出的结论主张对围绕横向暴力的动态进行更深入的探索，目的是制定有针对性的策略以减少其发生。
