Workplace violence has increased especially in the health sector Evidence shows that psychiatric hospitals, nursing homes, emergency rooms and prehospital care section are the areas where most violent acts occur The aim of this paper is to to reflect on the phenomenon of workplace violence in the health sector and present the conceptual model of Chappell and Di Martino, which incorporates several variables related to this phenomenon coming from the perpetrator, the victim and the environment in which these actions occur. This model is useful as a reference for appliance in research studies, because it provides a multifactorial perspective of the phenomenon.
