Description

Sidise Temesgen and colleagues measure workplace violence against nurses in public hospitals of western Ethiopia. Their 2024 cross-sectional study also identifies factors associated with experiencing violence at work.

Nearly four hundred nurses from five public hospitals completed questionnaires in late twenty twenty-two. About forty-three percent reported workplace violence in the previous twelve months. Younger age groups, shorter work experience, and evening work hours were associated with higher odds. Married nurses showed lower odds. Availability of a reporting system also related to reported violence in the analysis. The authors note violence causes physical and psychological suffering, yet Ethiopian evidence had been limited.
