这项自我报告问卷研究是在沙特阿拉伯的Al-Hassa进行的，旨在强调针对初级卫生保健（PHC）工作者的工作场所暴力的规模、预测因素和情况。共有1091名员工完成了一份自我管理的问卷。约28%的人在过去一年中至少经历过一次暴力事件。Logistic回归分析显示，最重要的暴力预测因素是工人的高学历（OR = 9.3）、急诊诊所工作人员（OR = 6.8）和Hegar （OR = 3.2）。情感暴力和身体暴力分别占暴力事件的92.1%和7.9%。病人的需求得不到满足、过度拥挤以及对受伤或疾病的反应是导致暴力的主要因素。有必要在卫生保健设施中制定暴力预防和控制方案。
This self-report questionnaire study was carried out in Al-Hassa, Saudi Arabia to highlight the magnitude, predictors, and circumstances of workplace violence against primary health care (PHC) workers. A total of 1,091 workers completed a self-administered questionnaire. About 28% were exposed to at least one violent event during the past year. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the most important predictors of violence are high education of workers (OR = 9.3), working in emergency clinics (OR = 6.8), and in Hegar (OR = 3.2). Emotional and physical violence accounted for 92.1% and 7.9% of violent events, respectively. Unmet needs of patients, overcrowding, and reaction to injury or illness were the leading contributing factors for violence. There is a need for violence prevention and control program in health care facilities.
