本研究的目的是调查巴基斯坦伊斯兰共和国护士职业生涯中的暴力事件及其对其工作生活的影响。当前的文章强调，工作场所针对护士的暴力行为是巴基斯坦的一个严重问题，由于数据稀缺，巴基斯坦几乎是一个未经探索的领域。进行了个人访谈，采用定性方法来深入了解该主题。采用扎根理论方法进行数据分析，采用NVIVO-10进行信息处理。大多数护士在其职业生涯的前六个月都经历过暴力。护士们还证实，他们目睹了言语虐待，虽然经常发生，但他们没有报告，因为他们认为报告没有用，也不会采取任何行动。大多数护士表示，由于暴力，他们感到压力大、工作绩效低、工作满意度低、缺勤率高、离职倾向高。结果表明，针对护士的暴力事件有明显增加的趋势。本研究的结果可能将有助于医院管理部门管理和减少工作场所的暴力行为。
The objective of the present study was to examine the incidences of violence during nurses' careers and their impacts on their work life in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The current article highlights workplace violence toward nurses as a serious issue in Pakistan, which is almost an unexplored area as data are scarce. Individual interviews were conducted, applying a qualitative approach for getting the in-depth knowledge about the subject. Grounded theory method was used for data analysis and NVIVO-10 was used for information processing. Majority of the nurses experienced violence in the previous 6 months of their career. Nurses also confirmed that verbal abuse was witnessed and although experienced frequently, they did not report it, as they believed that reporting was useless and no action would be taken. Most nurses reported that due to violence, they experience stress, low work performance, low job satisfaction, high absenteeism, and high turnover intentions. The results illustrated a clear trend of an increasing number of violence incidents toward nurses. The findings of the present study possibly will assist hospital administration to manage and reduce violence at workplace.
