Based on the information gathered during the investigation:
Violence in the workplace can lead to increased turnover rates among nursing staff, recruitment challenges, and additional costs for training new staff. It also places a financial burden on healthcare institutions due to the need for security measures and potential legal actions.
Violence against nurses is a widespread problem that affects their physical and mental health, job satisfaction, and overall quality of life. Studies and reports from various parts of the world have highlighted the severity of this issue. Nurses often find themselves at the receiving end of verbal and physical abuse from patients and, in some cases, their families. This aggression can stem from a variety of factors including patient frustration, drug or alcohol abuse, mental health issues, and the stress associated with being in a healthcare environment.
