Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of workplace violence (WPV) in home health care and long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and explore the relationship between WPV and worker well-being.

Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with health care workers in an agency that provided care in homes or LTCFs. Six measures of worker well-being were collected: satisfaction with work and life, work-related rumination, work/family conflict, burnout, and turnover intention. Surveys also assessed type and frequency of WPV.

Results: Seventeen participants completed surveys. Verbal abuse by patients was the most often experienced type of WPV. Employees who reported experiencing WPV had higher burnout and lower satisfaction with work and life.

Conclusion: WPV routinely occurs in home health care and LTCFs and appears to be related to worker well-being. Facility managers who can control WPV will likely impact the well-being of employees. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, xx(x), xx-xx.].

工作场所暴力与工人福祉：初步横断面研究

目的：调查家庭医疗保健和长期护理机构（LTCF）中工作场所暴力（WPV）的发生率，并探讨 WPV 与工人福利之间的关系：我们对在家庭或长期护理机构提供护理服务的机构中的医护人员进行了一项横断面调查。调查收集了六项衡量员工幸福感的指标：对工作和生活的满意度、与工作相关的遐想、工作/家庭冲突、职业倦怠和离职意向。调查还评估了 WPV 的类型和频率：17 名参与者完成了调查。患者的辱骂是最常见的 WPV 类型。报告经历过 WPV 的员工倦怠感较高，对工作和生活的满意度较低：结论：WPV 经常发生在家庭保健和 LTCF 中，似乎与员工的福利有关。能够控制 WPV 的机构管理者很可能会影响员工的幸福感。[老年护理杂志，xx（x），xx-xx]。
