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,...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Occupational Health
  • Nursing Studies

Background:

  • Workplace violence against nurses is a growing international concern, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The European Federation of Nurses (EFN) conducted a study to map challenges and solutions regarding this issue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the prevalence and nature of violence against nurses in Europe.
  • To explore the underlying causes and consequences of this violence.
  • To propose solutions and recommendations for improving nurses' safety and working conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional observational study design was employed.
  • An online questionnaire was distributed to 35 national nurses' associations across Europe in March 2021.
  • Data analysis included descriptive statistics and qualitative thematic synthesis.

Main Results:

  • Violent incidents are under-reported due to fear, employer discouragement, and perceived ineffectiveness of reporting.
  • Perpetrators include not only patients and families but also other healthcare professionals.
  • Violence adversely affects nurses' health and retention, leading to reduced working hours or part-time employment.

Conclusions:

  • Violence against nurses stems from organizational failures in violence management and inadequate legislation for safe work environments.
  • Enhanced institutional support, dedicated funding, legislative commitment, and policy advocacy are essential.
  • Inaction risks significant damage to the nursing workforce and healthcare systems globally.
