Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Public Health
  • Occupational Safety

Background:

  • Workplace violence is a significant concern for healthcare professionals globally.
  • Brazilian nurses in primary care settings face unique challenges and risks.
  • Understanding the prevalence and contributing factors is crucial for intervention development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of workplace violence against nurses in Brazilian primary care.
  • To identify the risk factors associated with occupational violence experienced by these nurses.
  • To characterize the types and perpetrators of violence encountered.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted with 112 nurses from Family Primary Care Units and Primary Care Health Centers in Brazil.
  • Nurses completed a questionnaire on socio-demographics, professional routine, and experienced occupational violence.
  • Data were analyzed using SPSS software to identify prevalence, types, perpetrators, and risk factors.

Main Results:

  • A high prevalence of workplace violence (73.2%) was reported among Brazilian nurses.
  • Verbal violence (67.0%) was most common, primarily perpetrated by patients and caregivers.
  • Psychological harassment (bullying) was perpetrated by team leaders and other health professionals; lack of safety and patient aggression were key risk factors.

Conclusions:

  • Occupational violence is highly prevalent in Brazilian primary health care nurses.
  • Verbal violence, often from patients, is the most frequent type.
  • Inadequate workplace safety is the primary risk factor for occupational violence experienced by nurses.
