Workplace violence on the rise
According to the American Hospital Association (AHA), 44% of nurses have reported experiencing physical violence and 68% stated being verbally abused. Incidents are not isolated to healthcare workers alone and extend to patients and their family members. The violence experienced by healthcare workers extends beyond their well-being, with studies showing it also impacts patient satisfaction, the care delivered, and patient outcomes.
