Workplace violence includes physical and verbal aggression as well as threatening behavior. All types of workplace violence incidents in health care are often under-reported, especially if there is no lasting physical injury.
Research reveals that healthcare workers are three times more likely to experience workplace violence than any other occupation. The first step toward reducing the occurrence of violence is to understand the perceptions and prevalence of workplace violence.
