It was obtained that 81.6% of participants considered that violence against healthcare workers was increased. 20.4% of healthcare professionals stated that they experienced violence in the shift between 12:00 am and 08:00 am. The rate of healthcare professionals reporting violence was 44.0%. The rate of healthcare professionals who received psychological support against the violence they experienced was 12.8%, and 27.7% of the participants have been to considered to leave the profession. 77.9% of the participants reported that they thought that violence against healthcare professionals could be avoided. A safe and violence-free environment should be provided for healthcare professionals, and support for coping skills should be provided them.
