Description
David Shaholli and colleagues validate an Italian version of the Perception of Aggression Scale in 2026. Aggression toward health staff is a lasting workplace hazard that shapes staff welfare and care quality. The short scale was given to 475 health professionals across hospital departments and teaching settings.
Internal consistency was strong, at 0.82 for viewing aggression as dysfunctional and 0.76 for viewing it as functional. Scores held steady on retest. Harmful readings of aggression dominated overall, while meaning-based readings were commoner among men and physicians. A strong inverse link joined the two views. A trusted Italian tool now supports safety planning and training design.
