Emergency department (ED) nurses suffer from workplace violence (WPV) and occupational stress (OS) due to the working environment. However, a relatively small number of studies on the relationship between WPV and OS among ED nurses have been conducted and its impact on nurse health or nursing quality.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 30 hospitals in China from December 26, 2023, to January 18, 2024 through questionnaire survey and stratified cluster sampling.
A total of 1,540 ED nurses were surveyed, 1,309 of whom had experienced WPV. OS score of these ED nurses was (55.55 ± 16.78). Correlation between WPV and OS was significant (rs = 0.577, < 0.01), and multivariate regression analysis revealed that an education level of bachelor's degree or higher; weekly working hours of 41-48, 49-58, and ≥59 h; physical violence experience; and psychological WPV were key influencing factors of OS among ED nurses.
A high proportion of ED nurses had experienced WPV, they had moderate to severe levels of OS, and WPV was a direct predictor of OS among them. This may be reduced by strengthening the management of violence in their workplace.
由于工作环境的原因,急诊科护士遭受工作场所暴力(WPV)和职业压力(OS)。然而,针对急诊科护士中WPV与OS之间关系及其对护士健康或护理质量影响的研究相对较少。
于2023年12月26日至2024年1月18日,通过问卷调查和分层整群抽样在中国30家医院开展了一项横断面研究。
共调查了1540名急诊科护士,其中1309人曾经历过WPV。这些急诊科护士的OS得分为(55.55±16.78)。WPV与OS之间的相关性显著(rs = 0.577,<0.01),多因素回归分析显示,本科及以上学历;每周工作41 - 48小时、49 - 58小时和≥59小时;遭受身体暴力经历;以及心理WPV是急诊科护士OS的关键影响因素。
很大比例的急诊科护士曾经历过WPV,他们的OS处于中度至重度水平,且WPV是其中OS的直接预测因素。加强工作场所暴力管理可能会降低这种情况。
