Abstract
Background: Violent behavior is a problem that affects the body, mind, and work of registered nurses.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine violent abuse in the workplace and correlated predictive factors among registered nurses at a tertiary level hospital.
Methods: This predictive correlational study used cluster sampling to recruit 356 registered nurses. Data collection was conducted by using questionnaires related to personal information, violent abuse in the workplace, self-efficacy in preventing and managing violent behavior and social support. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression were used for data analysis.
Results: The results revealed that the total mean score of violent abuse in the workplace was 15.40 (SD = 3.59), indicating that the participants had a low level of violent abuse in the workplace. Self-efficacy in preventing and managing violent behavior and social support had a statistically significant negative correlation with violent behavior (r = -.713, -.433, p <.01, respectively). Results of regression analysis indicated that self-efficacy in preventing and managing violent behavior and social support were significant predictors of violent abuse in the workplace (b = -.655, -.120, p < .01 respectively). The model for the equation was z (violent behavior) = -.655 (self-efficacy) -.120 (social support). Both factors predict 51.60% of violent behavior in the workplace among registered nurses.
Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that nurse administrators might develop a program of violent behavior prevention and management in the workplace through developing self-efficacy in preventing and managing violent behavior and social support in registered nurses.
