Abstract

Background: Workplace violence in hospitals is increasing every year, in which nurses are especially vulnerable to violence and other forms of aggression in the workplace. To clarify this issue, we conducted this study to describe the impact of workplace violence on nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional was carried out from March to May, 2021. 201 nursing students at Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy are conveniently selected, in which 40 of them who experienced workplace violence were asked by the self-administered questionnaire about their status after being attacked. Results: The majority of victims of workplace violence are women aged from 30 to under 40 years old, mainly in inpatient departments, emergency departments and medical examination department. After being attacked, 90% of the nurses felt anxious with an avarage score of 6.70 ± 2.79. Nurses' feelings after experiencing violence are often recalling the time of being attacked (87.5%), afraid of being get attacked again in the future (90%), are extremely wary and defend themself from violence at work (90%), do not love their job as before (75%), and wishing that they had been trained on preventing violence (95%). Conclusions: Most of nursing students after experiencing workplace violence feel anxiety, and they often recall the time of being assaulted. They are wary and do not love their job as before. So they wish they had been trained in workplace violence prevention.
