摘要

背景:工作场所暴力(WPV)是一种严重且持久的职业健康危害,也是雇主和雇员关注的主要问题。尽管越来越多的证据表明,WPV在医疗环境中的流行,但护士受到的影响尤为严重。尽管在全球范围内进行了广泛的研究,但尼日利亚缺乏关于这一现象的数据。本研究旨在确定三级卫生机构护士中身体和心理暴力的发生率。受试者和方法:一项描述性横断面研究,使用改编自卫生部门国家病例研究问卷中WPV的问卷。这项研究是在尼日利亚东南部埃努古的尼日利亚大学教学医院的护士中进行的。采用比例抽样法,选取301名被调查者。结果:大多数(219,72.2%)参与者年龄在35岁以上,女性(283,94%),已婚(249,82.7%)。约一半(152,50.5%)的受访者在实践中度过了10年或更长时间。言语虐待是最常见的心理暴力形式(12942.9%),其次是欺凌/聚众斗殴(21.7.0%),而性虐待则有少数人(7.23%),有46人(15.3%)经历过。大多数身体暴力是用武器实施的(39.84.8%),在大多数情况下,袭击者是患者的亲属(35.76%)。患者亲属对言语虐待(78.60.5%)和欺凌(10.47.6%)负有主要责任,而性侵主要由同事实施(4.57.1%)。应该制定政策来确保护士的安全。

Prevalence and patterns of psychological and physical violence among nurses in a public tertiary health facility in Enugu, southeast Nigeria
Background: Workplace violence (WPV) is a significant and persistent occupational health hazard and constitutes a major concern for employers and employees. While there is increasing evidence on the prevalence of WPV in the health-care settings, nurses have been shown to be disproportionately affected. Although widely researched globally, there is scarcity of data on this phenomenon in Nigeria. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of physical and psychological violence among nurses in a tertiary health institution. Subjects and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study using a questionnaire adapted from WPV in the Health Sector Country Case Study Questionnaire. This study was carried out among nurses at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu, Southeast Nigeria. Proportionate sampling method was used to select 301 respondents. Results: Majority (219, 72.2%) of the participants were aged above 35 years, were female (283, 94%) and were married (249, 82.7%). About half (152, 50.5%) of the respondents had spent 10 years or more in practice. Verbal abuse was the most prevalent form of psychological violence experienced (129, 42.9%) followed by bullying/mobbing (21, 7.0%) while sexual abuse was reported by a few (7, 2.3%). Physical violence, on the other hand, was experienced by 46 (15.3%). Majority of the physical violence was carried out with a weapon (39, 84.8%) and in most of the cases the attacker was patient's relative (35, 76%). Patients' relatives were mostly responsible for the verbal abuse (78, 60.5%) and bullying (10, 47.6%) while sexual assault was mostly carried out by a coworker (4, 57.1%). Conclusion: Psychological violence was commonly experienced by nurses in Enugu and physical violence was often carried out with a weapon. Policies should put in place to ensure safety of nurses.
