Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Occupational Safety

Background:

  • Workplace violence is a significant issue impacting nurses' well-being and patient care.
  • A clear, operational definition is needed to effectively study and address this phenomenon.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the concept of workplace violence in nursing.
  • To propose an operational definition for workplace violence experienced by nurses.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • Walker and Avant's eight-step concept analysis method was employed.

Main Results:

  • Key attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents of workplace violence were identified.
  • An operational definition was developed: any act or threat of verbal/physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or disruptive behavior at the worksite intended to abuse or injure the nurse.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed definition will aid in developing new research scales to measure workplace violence.
  • It provides a framework for designing effective nursing interventions.
  • It enhances the validity of future research on this critical issue.
