Violence towards nursing employees in Slovenia

Abstract

Purpose: This paper presents a systematic review of research studies conducted in the field of violence directed towards nursing employees in Slovenia. The purpose of this paper is to establish the types and prevalence of violence, as well as the methodology and deficiencies of the research conducted to date. The findings can support systematic measures for preventing, reporting and surviving such violence. Methods: The descriptive research methodology was applied when examining peer-reviewed literature on violence directed towards nursing employees in Slovenia. A systematic literature review was conducted as it enables data to be obtained from various sources, in our case 15 articles/sources were selected for the analysis, while ensuring a holistic understanding of the research subject. Findings: The results show nursing employees are exposed to a high level of work-related violence against them, which in all fields is considerable, but especially in intensive psychiatric nursing care. Further qualitative research is needed to shed light on the detailed characteristics and background of such violence. Tackling violence within the healthcare system demands a wide and interdisciplinary approach. Practical Implications: The results of this study can provide the basis for further research and the development of a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to tackle violence directed at nursing employees.

Secondary abstract:	Namen prispevka: Prispevek predstavlja sistematični pregled raziskav na področju nasilja, ki je usmerjeno proti zaposlenim v zdravstveni negi v Sloveniji. Namen prispevka je ugotoviti vrste in prevalenco nasilja, uporabljene raziskave in pomanjkljivosti opravljenih raziskav. Ugotovitve lahko podpirajo sistematične preventivne, administrativne in preživetvene ukrepe. Metode: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda za pregled recenzirane literature na področju nasilja, usmerjenega proti zaposlenim v zdravstveni negi. Sistematičen pregled literature je bil izbran, ker omogoča pridobitev podatkov iz več virov in zagotavlja celostno razumevanje obravnavane teme. Za analizo je bilo izbranih 15 člankov/virov. Ugotovitve: Rezultati kažejo na visoko izpostavljenost nasilju zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi. Ta izpostavljenost je na vseh področjih velika, še posebej v intenzivni psihiatrični negi. Potreben je nadaljnji kvalitativen pristop, ki bo omogočal razkritje podrobnejših karakteristik in ozadij tovrstnega nasilja. Obravnava nasilja v zdravstvenem sistemu zahteva širok in interdisciplinarni pristop. Praktična uporabnost: Rezultati prispevka so lahko temelj za nadaljnje raziskave in razvoj obsežnega ter multidisciplinarnega pristopa za obravnavo nasilja, ki je usmerjeno proti zaposlenim v zdravstveni negi.
