护士在工作场所特别容易受到暴力和其他形式的攻击。尽管如此，在过去十年里，在香港适龄工作的护士专业人员中，很少有人对工作场所暴力进行基于人口的研究。这项研究估计了工作场所暴力在香港职业护士中的流行程度，并探讨了其与社会、经济和心理的关系。本研究采用横断面调查设计。多变量Logistic回归检验护士群体中WPV的加权患病率及其相关因素。共有850名护士参与了这项研究。44.6%的人在过去一年中经历过WPV。男护士报告的WPV比她们的女护士多。最常见的形式是言语虐待/欺凌(39.2%)，其次是身体攻击(22.7%)和性骚扰(1.1%)。WPV最常见的肇事者是患者(36.6%)及其亲属(17.5%)，其次是同事(7.7%)和主管(6.3%)。临床职位、轮班工作、工作满意度、最近与同事的不和、故意自残(DSH)和焦虑症状与护士的WPV显著相关。WPV仍然是全球医疗保健领域的一个重大问题。香港当地卫生当局应该制定一系列零容忍措施，以防止医疗保健环境中出现水痘。
Nurses are especially vulnerable to violent and other forms of aggression in the workplace. Nonetheless, few population-based studies of workplace violence have been undertaken among working-age nurse professionals in Hong Kong in the last decade. The study estimates the prevalence and examines the socio-economic and psychological correlates of workplace violence (WPV) among professional nurses in Hong Kong. The study uses a cross-sectional survey design. Multivariate logistic regression examines the weighted prevalence rates of WPV and its associated factors for a population of nurses. A total of 850 nurses participated in the study. 44.6% had experienced WPV in the preceding year. Male nurses reported more WPV than their female counterparts. The most common forms of WPV were verbal abuse/bullying (39.2%), then physical assault (22.7%) and sexual harassment (1.1%). The most common perpetrators of WPV were patients (36.6%) and their relatives (17.5%), followed by colleagues (7.7%) and supervisors (6.3%). Clinical position, shift work, job satisfaction, recent disturbances with colleagues, deliberate self-harm (DSH) and symptoms of anxiety were significantly correlated with WPV for nurses. WPV remains a significant concern for healthcare worldwide. Hong Kong’s local health authority should put in place a raft of zero-tolerance measures to prevent WPV in healthcare settings.
