PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors of physical
violence in Chinese township hospitals. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was
used in a sample of 442 general practitioners and 398 general nurses from 90
township hospitals located in Heilongjiang province, China (response rate =
84.8%). RESULTS: A total of 106 of the 840 (12.6%) respondents reported being
physically attacked in their workplace in the previous 12 months. Most
perpetrators were the patients' relatives (62.3%), followed by the patient
(22.6%); 73.6% of perpetrators were aged between 20 and 40 years. Of the physical
violence incidents, about 56.6% (n = 60) resulted in a physical injury, and 45.4%
of respondents took two or three days of sick leave. Reporting workplace violence
in hospitals to superiors or authorities was low (9.4%). Most respondents (62.8%)
did not receive training on how to avoid workplace violence. Logistic regression
analyses indicated that general nurses, aged 35 years or younger, and with a
higher-level professional title were more likely to experience physical violence.
Healthcare workers with direct physical contact (washing, turning, lifting) with
patients had a higher risk of physical violence compared to other health care
workers. Procedures for reporting workplace violence were a protective factor for
physical violence; when in place, reporting after psychological violence (verbal
abuse, bullying/mobbing, harassment, and threats) was more protective than
waiting until an instance of physical violence (beating, kicking, slapping,
stabbing, etc.). CONCLUSIONS: Physical violence in Chinese township hospitals is
an occupational hazard of rural public health concern. Policies, procedures, and
intervention strategies should be undertaken to manage this issue.
