Abstract

Background

Workplace violence significantly affects registered nurses, contributing to burnout and intention to leave.

Methods

The Michigan Nurses Study conducted surveys in 2022 and 2023, examining the prevalence of verbal, physical, and sexual violence, and coworker bullying. Personal and workplace factors associated with reporting any violent event were examined using multivariable logistic regression.

Results

There was a decline in overall workplace violence from 50.2% to 43.4%, despite a rise in sexual harassment from 9.9% to 11.8%. Over half of the events were patient-sourced. Underreporting remained a problem. Factors associated with increased likelihood of reporting any violent event included younger age, employment in acute care and long-term care settings, unfavorable practice environments, less confidence in management, inadequate support for workplace stress, and understaffing on the past shift.

Conclusion

Despite a decrease in reported violent events, incidents remain common. Improvements in working conditions, management of understaffing, and support systems are crucial to mitigate workplace violence against nurses.

护士报告的工作场所暴力事件：全州重复调查的结果

方法密歇根护士研究于 2022 年和 2023 年进行了调查，研究了语言暴力、肢体暴力和性暴力以及同事欺凌的发生率。结果尽管性骚扰的发生率从 9.9% 上升到了 11.8%，但总体工作场所暴力发生率却从 50.2% 下降到了 43.4%。超过一半的事件来自患者。报告不足仍然是一个问题。与报告任何暴力事件的可能性增加有关的因素包括：年龄较小、在急症护理和长期护理机构工作、不利的工作环境、对管理层的信心不足、对工作场所压力的支持不足以及上一班的人手不足。改善工作条件、管理人手不足和支持系统对于减少针对护士的工作场所暴力至关重要。
