Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı, sağlık çalışanlarının işyerinde şiddet ile karşılaşma oranını, karşılaştıkları şiddet türlerini, şiddeti gerçekleştirenleri, şiddetin zamanını, nedenlerini ve şiddete karşı gösterilen davranışları belirlemek ve bu şiddet değişkenlerinin demografik özelliklere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını değerlendirmektir. Çalışma, sağlık çalışanları üzerinde yapıldı. Veriler anket formu ile toplandı. Toplam 345 anket değerlendirmeye alındı. Veriler, SPSS for Windows 22 paket programı ile analiz edildi. Çalışanların çoğunluğunun (%86,1) görev esnasında şiddetle karşılaşma endişesi yaşadığı ve en az bir şiddet türü ile karşılaştığı belirlendi. Çalışanların çoğunlukla hasta (%25,6) ve yakınları (%65,4) tarafından şiddete maruz kaldığı, erkeklerin daha fazla şiddet uyguladığı (%58,5) ve şiddetin büyük oranda (%56,4) mesai saatlerinde meydana geldiği tespit edildi. Şiddete karşı çalışanların genellikle karşılık vermeden işine devam etme ve güvenliğe bildirme davranışları gösterdiği belirlendi. En önemli şiddet nedenleri olarak, şiddeti uygulayanların şiddeti kendilerine hak görmeleri ve hastanede güvenlik önlemlerinin yetersizliği gösterildi. Çalışanlar işyerinde en fazla sözel şiddete maruz kalmaktadır. Dahası demografik özelliklere göre çalışanların işyeri şiddet algısı değişmektedir.
