Abstract

This study delves into the critical issue of workplace violence against nurses, focusing on public sector tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan. Nurses play an indispensable role in healthcare delivery as the backbone of patient care. However, they face the challenge of workplace violence, which poses a significant threat to their well-being and compromises patient care quality. This paper contributes to the existing knowledge of workplace violence in healthcare settings. Through a cross-sectional survey design, data was collected from 384 registered nurses with a minimum of six months of experience in the emergency department. The data was collected between September and October 2023. The study provides comprehensive insights into various aspects of workplace violence, including training, exposure to incidents, reporting, investigation, and support mechanisms. The findings reveal that while training in workplace violence prevention is provided, there is room for enhancement, as indicated by a positive skewness in the data. Moreover, a concerning prevalence of workplace violence incidents within the last 12 months was reported, emphasizing the urgency for comprehensive measures to address this issue. The study highlights the diverse nature of violence experienced by nurses, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions.
