BACKGROUND: A violent attack on medical staff in Guangdong Province, in which a
female doctor at Longmen County People's Hospital (LCPH) was severely injured by
a knife-wielding patient, has drawn significant public attention to the
phenomenon of hospital violence and initiated discussions on how to resolve
violence in hospitals. Social networking sites, such as Sina Weibo, a Chinese
version of Twitter, have played a role in this public debate. The incident at
LCPH provides an opportunity to examine how Weibo has been used in the debate
about violence against medical staff in China. METHODS: Using the Sina Weibo's
built-in search tool, we established a dataset of 661 Chinese-language
micro-blogs containing the search terms: Longmen (""), doctor (""), and slash
("") that were posted between July 15, 2015, the date of the violent incident at
LCPH, and August 15, 2015. We performed a content analysis of the micro-blogs to
examine: users' demographics, attitudes toward the injured doctor and the
attacker, possible reasons for the hospital violence, and proposed measures for
preventing doctors from violent incidents. RESULTS: 73.2% of the micro-blogs were
sent by individual Weibo users, and 26.8% were posted by organizations. For
individual users, around 10.0% described themselves as either doctors or
healthcare providers, but users from the legal profession were rarely identified.
Moreover, only 3 micro-blogs proposed concrete strategies for preventing hospital
violence, and nearly 10.0% of micro-blogs expressed regrets about entering a
medical career and attempts to quit medical positions. In general 56.3% of
micro-blogs showed sympathy for the injured doctor, while less than 25.0% of
micro-blogs explicitly condemned the attacker's behavior. CONCLUSIONS: Weibo
users played a role in distributing news information about the violent incident
at LCPH; however, the legal perspective is inadequately discussed in the debate,
and discussion of constructive measures for protecting doctors and preventing
hospital violence was rare. Our research suggests that critical challenges for
the Chinese health care system will remain or become worse if no effective
measures are implemented to prevent hospital violence.
