本研究旨在评估澳门医护人员的社会人口学特征与工作场所暴力的发生率。背景资料：在东南亚，全球为减少工作场所暴力（WPV）所做的共同努力尚未使医疗相关专业人员免受患者、家人和同事的身体和其他攻击的威胁。研究方法：本研究采用横断面设计，以估计患病率，并探讨社会经济和心理相关的WPV的医生和护士在澳门。数据收集期为2014年8月至12月。多元Logistic回归分析医护人员WPV患病率及其相关因素。结果：共有107名医生（14.9%）和613名护士（85.1%）参与了这项研究，57.2%的人在过去一年中遭受了WPV。最常见的工作场所暴力形式是言语虐待（53.4%），身体攻击（16.1%），欺凌/骚扰（14.2%），性骚扰（4.6%）和种族骚扰（2.6%）。大多数暴力行为是由病人及其亲属、同事和主管实施的。结论：WPV仍然是澳门医疗机构的一个重要问题。澳门的地方卫生当局应该考虑制定一系列零容忍政策来预防这种情况。
This paper sets out to estimate the prevalence of workplace violence in relation to socio-demographic characteristics of physicians and nurses working in healthcare settings in Macau. Background: Concerted efforts worldwide to reduce workplace violence (WPV) have not yet removed medical-related professionals from the threat of patients’, family members’, and colleagues’ physical and other assaults in Southeast Asia. Methods: The study employs a cross-sectional design to estimate the prevalence and examines the socio-economic and psychological correlates of WPV among medical doctors and nurses in Macau. The data collection period spanned from August to December 2014. Multiple logistic regression examines the prevalence rates of WPV and its associated factors in doctors and nurses. Results: A total of 107 doctors (14.9%) and 613 nurses (85.1%) participated in the study; 57.2% had suffered WPV in the preceding year. The most common forms of workplace violence were verbal abuse (53.4%), physical assault (16.1%), bullying/harassment (14.2%), sexual harassment (4.6%), and racial harassment (2.6%). Most violence was perpetrated by patients and their relatives, colleagues, and supervisors. Conclusions: WPV remains a significant concern in healthcare settings in Macau. Macau’s local health authority should consider putting in place a raft of zero-tolerance policies designed to prevent it.
