El 71% de los médicos del hospital temen ataques en el lugar de trabajo

The fear of workplace attacks among Italian hospital doctors is a pressing issue, with 71% expressing concerns about potential violence. This percentage rises to 76% when considering just doctors. A recent survey by the Union of the Cimo-Festa Federation revealed that nearly 3 out of 4 doctors enter hospitals with the fear of facing physical or verbal aggression from patients or their families. In light of the National Day of Education and Prevention against Violence on Health and Socio-Health, which falls on March 12th, Cimo-Festa will launch a campaign emphasizing that fear does not aid in providing care. There is a critical need for structural intervention to address long wait times in emergency rooms and operating theaters, which can contribute to stress and further exacerbate the risk of violence. It is essential for healthcare professionals to work in conducive environmental conditions to ensure their well-being and safety. [email protected] (Web Information)

In summary, the survey findings highlight the pervasive fear of violence among healthcare professionals in Italian hospitals, underscoring the urgent need for structural and environmental improvements to create a safer work environment. The upcoming campaign by Cimo-Festa aims to address these issues and promote a culture of respect and safety within the healthcare sector.
