Abstract
|
AIM: The aim of the study was to compare the associations between workplace violence and patient safety behaviour between male and female nursing interns.
DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey.
METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was carried out at three general hospitals in Shandong Province in China to collect data from 466 nursing interns. We evaluated the associations between workplace violence and patient safety behaviours in men and women using multiple linear regressions.
RESULTS: Sex moderated the association between workplace violence and patient safety behaviour (B = 1.046, [SE = 0.477]; p = 0.029). Among male nursing interns, there was a significant association between workplace violence and patient safety (B = -1.353, 95% CI [-2.556, -0.151]; p = 0.028). In male nursing interns, verbal violence and sexual violence were significantly negatively associated with patient safety (B = -1.569, SE = 0.492, p = 0.002; B = -45.663, SE = 5.554, p < 0.001). No significant association was found in female nursing interns.
PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study did not have a patient or public contribution.
