Impact of External Workplace Violence on the Occupational Well-being of Healthcare Workers
Impact of External Occupational Violence on Healthcare Professionals and Organizations: a Multicenter Cross-sectional Study
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether external workplace violence (violence by patients, relatives, or companions) is associated with poorer occupational well-being in healthcare workers aged 18 years or older who have regular face-to-face contact with patients or their families. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Do healthcare workers who have experienced external workplace violence in the past 12 months report more negative effects of work (somatization, exhaustion, and alienation) than those who have not?
- How common is external workplace violence, what types occur (physical, verbal, symbolic, digital, or economic), and how intense are they?
- Is external workplace violence associated with working conditions and organizational practices? Researchers will compare healthcare workers who have experienced external workplace violence with those who have not to see if their occupational well-being scores differ.
Participants will complete a single anonymous online survey about their experience of workplace violence, their occupational well-being, their working conditions, and the measures they consider most effective to reduce violence.

Descrição detalhada
This multicenter cross-sectional study will be conducted in seven healthcare organizations with different profiles. Participants will be randomly selected from the staff census of each center, stratified by area or department, and invited to complete an anonymous online survey hosted on the REDCap platform of the sponsor. The survey includes the collateral effects dimension of the General Occupational Well-being Questionnaire (cBLG; somatization, exhaustion, and alienation scales; total score 13-91), 22 items of the Working Conditions Questionnaire (cCT; score 0-220), 6 ad hoc items on organizational practices (score 0-60), self-reported workplace violence in the past 12 months by type and intensity, and sociodemographic and occupational variables.
The primary analysis will compare mean collateral effects scores between workers with and without external workplace violence using Student's t test, followed by multivariable analyses adjusted for sex, age group, professional category, care setting, work shift, type of contract, and seniority. Subgroup analyses by sex, professional category, and center, and a dose-response analysis by violence intensity, are planned.
