Abstract

Background: Economic violence is a type of domestic violence in which an intimate partner attempts to oppress, restrict, or direct a female by exercising control over her financial resources.

Aim: To explore the impact of economic abuse on individual work performance and clarify the effective factors on financial exploitation among physicians and nurses.

Methods: The study has a cross-sectional design, and 305 married, female physicians and nurses working in a university hospital were included. Data was collected with demographic characteristics forms, "Revised Scale of Economic Abuse" and "Individual Work Performance Questionnaire". Pearson correlation, comparative analyses, and internal consistency reliability tests were used.

Results: The average age was 39.04 ± 9.41. Among the respondents 69.2% were nurses and 63.9% held a bachelor's degree. The mean score for the Revised Scale of Economic Abuse was 2.80 ± 4.73 while it was 3.86 ± 0.60 for the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire.

Conclusion: Our study revealed no relationship between economic abuse and individual work performance, confirming that nurses are exposed to more economic abuse and exploitation than physicians and exhibit higher work performance.

作为女性殴打形式的经济虐待：一项对医生和护士的横断面研究。

背景：经济暴力是一种家庭暴力，其中亲密伴侣试图通过控制女性的经济资源来压迫、限制或指导女性。目的：探讨经济虐待对个体工作绩效的影响，明确医护人员经济剥削的影响因素。方法：采用横断面设计，以某大学附属医院的已婚女医师和护士305名为研究对象。数据通过人口统计特征表、“修订经济虐待量表”和“个人工作表现问卷”收集。采用Pearson相关、比较分析和内部一致性信度检验。结果：患者平均年龄39.04±9.41岁。受访者中69.2%为护士，63.9%为本科学历。修正经济虐待量表的平均得分为2.80±4.73分，个人工作绩效问卷的平均得分为3.86±0.60分。结论：本研究未发现经济虐待与个人工作绩效之间的关系，证实护士比医生更容易遭受经济虐待和剥削，并表现出更高的工作绩效。
