Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Violence against nurses occurs in almost all settings. Burnout is associated with negative emotional and physical health consequences for nurses. The study aimed to explore types, preparators, responses to violence, factors associated with the experience of violence and burnout. A convenience sample of 107 nurses completed the self-administered survey from emergency, psychiatric departments and geriatric home. Two scales were used: A scale focuses on workplace violence. The second scale is the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The study revealed that physical violence was the most type of violence reported by nurses, patients and their families were the most reported preparators of violence. The most reported response to violence was "to tell the patients to stop". Increase number of staff nurses was associated to the decrease frequency of workplace violence. There was a significant difference in the PA subscale of burnout with a higher mean score for nurses working in the psychiatric settings. The study concluded that workplace violence might not be the only factor that could increase the risk for burnout. Specific intervention programs should be developed to train nurses on dealing with violence, low nurse patient ratios and the development of visitors' regulations can decrease the incidence of workplace violence.
