Violence at work has only recently been recognized as a serious hazard for employees. The health care industry, in particular, has begun to recognize the importance of this for employee safety. Most studies in the health care industry have focused solely on one occupational group (such as nurses) with patient contact recognized as an important risk factor. This study involved a retrospective cohort design of 1,751 employees of a major Midwest health care organization from multiple occupational groupings or job families and addresses the risk factors associated with both physical and non-physical violence. Employees randomly selected for the study were mailed a survey instrument which addressed the incidence of violence, patient contact, support measures, and follow-up services utilized following violence.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Violence at work has only recently been recognized as a serious hazard for employees. The health care industry, in particular, has begun to recognize the importance of this for employee safety. Most studies in the health care industry have focused solely on one occupational group (such as nurses) with patient contact recognized as an important risk factor. This study involved a retrospective cohort design of 1,751 employees of a major Midwest health care organization from multiple occupational groupings or job families and addresses the risk factors associated with both physical and non-physical violence. Employees randomly selected for the study were mailed a survey instrument which addressed the incidence of violence, patient contact, support measures, and follow-up services utilized following violence.
520 $a The results of this study showed that as the proportion of time spent with patient contact increases, the odds of experiencing violence also increases. Nurses also had increased odds of experiencing physical violence, compared to other occupational groups. Supervisor support has not been addressed in other violence studies using multivariate analyses and, in this study, increased support resulted in a decreased odds of both physical and non-physical violence.
520 $a Studies that have addressed the incidence of violence also note vast underreporting of violence to the employer, particularly in health care. This study also addressed reporting of violence to the individual's employer. Non-physical violence is reported less often than physical violence. Predictive of increased reporting of non-physical violence was increased age, severity measures such as increased experience with violence and increased symptoms in response to the violence, and telling the perpetrator of the violence to stop the behavior with no effect. Predictive of decreased reporting of non-physical violence were urban and suburban hospitals, male gender, and the perpetrator being a supervisor. This study is the first such study that has addressed factors associated with reporting violence to the employer. Future studies should attempt to determine if the factors associated with reporting non-physical violence are the same as those associated with reporting physical violence.
