Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.
Aggression01:47

Aggression

Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for hire...
Bullying02:04

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.
Torts II01:13

Torts II

Intentional torts in healthcare refer to deliberate actions that cause harm or infringe on the rights of others. Understanding these torts is crucial for healthcare professionals to avoid legal liabilities and maintain ethical standards in patient care.

Area of Science:

  • General Practice
  • Occupational Health
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Occupational violence is a concern in general practice.
  • Previous research has not fully explored GPs' perceptions of its causes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore general practitioners' (GPs) opinions on the causes of occupational violence in general practice settings.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional qualitative study involving 172 GPs in New South Wales, Australia.
  • Data collected through focus group discussions (18 GPs) and written questionnaire responses (154 GPs).
  • Thematic analysis using a modified grounded-theory approach was employed.

Main Results:

  • All focus group participants and 75% of questionnaire respondents reported experiencing workplace violence.
  • Key themes identified include underlying causes, proximate causes, and GP vulnerability.
  • Novel constructs such as "culture of fear" and "naïve" practice culture emerged.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding GPs' perceptions of violence causes is vital for service planning.
  • Findings can inform strategies to enhance GP safety and address workplace violence.
