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.
