Description
Deniz Gür and Ülkü Baykal wrote this 2026 study building a questionnaire to measure nurses' attitudes toward violence from patients and their families. Workplace violence is a global safety problem for nurses, yet no good instrument captured how nurses themselves perceive, are affected by, and respond to it. The authors began by interviewing thirty-nine nurses in depth.
Their words became a sixty-one-item pool, trimmed by experts to fifty-seven, then tested on 608 nurses. Statistical analysis settled on thirty-six items in three factors: perception and causes of violence, its effects, and responses to it. The scale proved highly consistent internally and stable over two weeks. A second small wave of nurses reproduced the results. The authors offer the tool to hospitals and researchers who want to measure attitudes before trying to change the conditions that shape them.
