To analyse the relationship between workplace violence and work engagement in nursing professionals.
Violence in the workplace has become a phenomenon of growing concern. Nursing professionals are one of the most exposed groups to this type of violence.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on a national sample of Spanish nurses by means of convenience, non-probabilistic sampling. A questionnaire was administered that collected sociodemographic variables, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9), and an "ad hoc" scale on violence in the workplace.
1648 active nursing professionals participated in this study. The participants obtained higher scores in the "dedication" variable. It was observed that 42.17% had personally suffered some type of aggression or violence at work. Verbal aggression was the most frequent type of reported violence. Nurses who experience violence, threat, and psychological harassment showed lower levels of work engagement than those who did not. In the case of those who experience sexual harassment and those who do not, the values for the UWES-9 were similar.
Having personally experienced violence, threats or psychological harassment can negatively affect nurses' work engagement, the most common acts of violence being verbal and often perpetrated by family members and patients. . Adequate tools are not still being used to ensure that the assaulted professionals are adequately assisted by their institutions.
分析护理专业人员工作场所暴力与工作投入之间的关系。
工作场所暴力已成为一个日益受到关注的现象。护理专业人员是最容易遭受此类暴力的群体之一。
通过便利的非概率抽样方法，对西班牙护士的全国样本进行了描述性横断面研究。发放了一份问卷，收集社会人口统计学变量、乌得勒支工作投入量表（UWES-9）以及一份关于工作场所暴力的“特设”量表。
1648名在职护理专业人员参与了本研究。参与者在“奉献”变量上得分较高。据观察，42.17%的人曾在工作中亲身遭受某种形式的攻击或暴力。言语攻击是报告中最常见的暴力类型。经历过暴力、威胁和心理骚扰的护士的工作投入水平低于未经历过的护士。在经历过性骚扰和未经历过性骚扰的人当中，UWES-9的值相似。
亲身经历暴力、威胁或心理骚扰会对护士的工作投入产生负面影响，最常见的暴力行为是言语暴力，且往往由家庭成员和患者实施。目前仍未使用适当的工具来确保受攻击的专业人员得到其所在机构的充分协助。
