摘要

工作场所暴力是卫生保健环境中一种严重的地方性现象，在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间不断升级。在这项横断面研究中，包括在埃及两家接受COVID-19患者的公立医院工作的医护人员(105名医生和104名护士)。通过2021年1月分发的自填问卷，收集了过去6个月卫生保健员的社会人口学和职业特征以及他们在心理和身体上的WPV暴露情况的数据。结果显示，心理和生理型WPV患病率分别为42.6%和9.6%。在大多数WPV事件中，患者亲属是肇事者。卫生保健工作者没有报告57.3%的心理和10.0%的物理WPV事件。女性性别、与患者有身体接触、轮班工作与心理和生理WPV暴露增加有关。总而言之，本研究表明，在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，埃及公立医院的卫生保健员感染WPV的比例很高。

Violence against healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study from Egypt.

Workplace violence (WPV) is a serious endemic phenomenon in healthcare settings, and it has been escalating during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this cross-sectional study, healthcare workers (HCWs) (105 physicians and 104 nurses) working at two public hospitals accepting patients with COVID-19 in Egypt were included. Using a self-administered questionnaire distributed in January 2021, data about HCWs' sociodemographic and occupational characteristics and their exposure to psychological and physical WPV during the past six months were collected. The results showed that the prevalence of psychological and physical WPV was 42.6% and 9.6%, respectively. Relatives of patients were the perpetrators in most WPV incidents. HCWs did not report 57.3% of psychological and 10.0% of physical WPV incidents. Female sex, having physical contact with patients, and working rotational shifts were associated with the increased exposure to psychological and physical WPV. In conclusion, this study showed a high prevalence of WPV against HCWs in Egyptian public hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

期刊介绍： Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health , originally founded in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene, and perhaps most well-known as the Archives of Environmental Health, reports, integrates, and consolidates the latest research, both nationally and internationally, from fields germane to environmental health, including epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling and biostatistics, risk science and biochemistry. Publishing new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussion to put this work in perspective for public health, public policy, and sustainability, the Archives addresses such topics of current concern as health significance of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and the environmental causation of disease such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For more than 90 years, this noted journal has provided objective documentation of the effects of environmental agents on human and, in some cases, animal populations and information of practical importance on which decisions are based.
