Violence at Healthcare

Abstract

Violence, a problematic phenomenon experienced in different forms (physical, verbal, symbolic, sexual, etc.), is increasingly prominent in sociological analysis. Violence is an unwanted aspect of everyday life experience; it is common in traffic incidences, in the family, in the workplace, and in personal interactions almost everywhere. In recent years, women and health professionals (doctors and non-doctors) in particular have been subjected to violence. Violence against women and children has become remarkably commonplace. An increase in violence against physicians and healthcare professionals as part of this more hostile environment could be observed.Violence against doctors is now a global problem.The well-being of health workers has been disrupted not only by the changing dynamics in doctor-patient relationships, but also by the general environment of insecurity. All forms of violence must be condemned; not only healthcare workers but also the decion makers have to deal with the issue of violence collectively and systematically.
