Workplace violence is becoming increasingly recognized as a serious problem in health care settings. All 628 workers' compensation assaults claimed by minority Los Angeles County health care workers from 1986 through 1990 were abstracted. Population-at-risk data from county personnel computer tapes provided denominators by age, sex, race, job classification, and type of facility. Rates varied by type of facility (rate ratio = 38 for psychiatric hospitals vs public health facilities) and varied by job, with inpatient nursing attendants having the highest rate for caregivers. Most assaults were committed by patients (86%), followed by coworkers (8%). The average cost of an assault ($4879) was relatively low but related to the costlier problem of work-related emotional illness.
职场暴力正日益被视为医疗保健环境中的一个严重问题。对1986年至1990年洛杉矶县少数族裔医护人员所提出的628起工伤赔偿袭击事件进行了摘要分析。从县人事计算机磁带中获取的高危人群数据提供了按年龄、性别、种族、工作分类和设施类型划分的分母。袭击发生率因设施类型而异（精神病医院与公共卫生设施的发生率比为38），也因工作而异，住院护理人员是护理人员中发生率最高的。大多数袭击是由患者实施的（86%），其次是同事（8%）。一次袭击的平均成本（4879美元）相对较低，但与工作相关的情绪疾病这一成本更高的问题有关。
