Summary

This study addresses the growing issue of violence against healthcare professionals, particularly in emergency departments. It highlights the increasing prevalence of violence in healthcare settings worldwide, affecting over 50% of workers, with rates higher in developing countries. The text reviews factors contributing to violence, including poor communication, substandard care, and the stress experienced by patients' families. It notes that nearly 100% of emergency nurses face verbal or physical assaults. The research emphasizes the need to understand violence from the perspective of patients' families, a relatively unexplored area.

Observational Survey and Analysis

This study does not involve a clinical or medical intervention. Instead, it employs an observational survey method to gather data from family members of patients who visited the Health Sciences University Van Training and Research Hospital's emergency department between December 1, 2023, and June 1, 2024. The study aims to use logistic regression analysis to identify factors influencing the intent of violence against healthcare professionals. The survey includes structured questionnaires and scales developed based on theoretical frameworks and previous research. The gathered data will be statistically analyzed using the G\*Power software to assess the significance and impact of various factors on the propensity for violence.
