Abstract

Horizontal violence is widespread in nursing with deep influences. Foreign studies on horizontal violence among nurses are rich in content, including epidemic characteristics, influencing factors, impacts, intervention measures, experiences, etc. However, domestic studies are limited to current situation investigation and influencing factors. Research on intervention measures is very lacking. In this paper, horizontal violence relevant literatures at home and abroad were reviewed, and the epidemiological characteristics, effects and strategies adopted abroad were summarized, to provide references for domestic researches.
