Summary

This completed study surveyed 3,000 healthcare workers to understand how often they experience workplace violence, including physical and verbal aggression. The goal was to measure the types of violence, how often it is reported, and its impact on workers' well-being and patient care. By identifying gaps in reporting, the findings could help improve safety policies in hospitals.
