  • A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted.
  • 180 nursing students from three medical universities participated.
  • Data were collected using a validated questionnaire on violence experienced in the past year.

Main Results:

  • 39.4% of students experienced insult, 8.3% physical menace, and 6.7% physical assault.
  • Patients were the most common perpetrators of assault, while staff and attendants were involved in menaces and insults.
  • Most assaults were disease-related, but reasons for menace and insult were often unclear.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing students face significant occupational violence due to inexperience.
  • Educational interventions on violence prevention are necessary.
