Abstract

Aims: To explore (a) the associations between individual social responsibility and the public intention to use violence against nurses; and (b) the relationship between individual social responsibility, personal variables and the public's intention to employ violence against nurses.

Background: Workplace violence against nurses is a significant widespread occupational health issue. To date, no reference has been found to the association between personality traits such as individual social responsibility and the public's intention to use violence against nurses.

Design and methods: A cross-sectional survey design with a convenience sample of 667 Israeli participants from among the public. A structured self-report questionnaire was distributed, including socioeconomic variables, individual social responsibility and responses to four vignettes describing incidents of violence directed at nurses. Multiple linear regressions were calculated for intention to employ violence, with demographic variables and individual social responsibility as independent variables. The STROBE checklist for cross-sectional studies was used for reporting.

Results: Negative correlations were found between individual social responsibility and the intention to employ violence against nurses. Gender, having witnessed physical violence and individual social responsibility explained 19% of the variance in the intention to employ violence against nurses. Demographic variables and having witnessed verbal or physical violence were found to moderate the association between individual social responsibility and the intention to employ violence against nurses.

Conclusions: Witnessing a violent incident in a healthcare setting is a risk factor for the intention to employ violence against nurses. Our findings point to the role of individual social responsibility as one of the strategies to help reduce violent events.

Implications for the profession and/or patient care: Educating and promoting values of social responsibility among the public can reduce incidents of violence in healthcare settings, thus contributing to the safety and quality of care provided.

Patient or public contribution: The public contributed via study participation.

个人社会责任与公众暴力对待护士的意向之间的关系--一项横断面研究。

目的：探讨（a）个人社会责任与公众对护士使用暴力的意向之间的关联；以及（b）个人社会责任、个人变量与公众对护士使用暴力的意向之间的关系：背景：针对护士的工作场所暴力是一个广泛存在的重要职业健康问题。迄今为止，尚未发现个人社会责任等人格特质与公众对护士使用暴力的意向之间的关联：横断面调查设计，从公众中抽取 667 名以色列参与者作为方便样本。发放了一份结构化自我报告问卷，其中包括社会经济变量、个人社会责任以及对描述针对护士的暴力事件的四个小故事的回答。以人口统计学变量和个人社会责任感为自变量，对使用暴力的意向进行了多元线性回归计算。报告采用了横断面研究的 STROBE 检查表：结果：个人社会责任与对护士使用暴力的意向之间呈负相关。性别、目睹过身体暴力和个人社会责任解释了对护士施暴意向中 19% 的差异。研究发现，人口统计学变量和目睹过语言或肢体暴力会缓和个人社会责任与对护士施暴意愿之间的关联：结论：在医疗环境中目睹暴力事件是导致对护士施暴意向的一个风险因素。我们的研究结果表明，个人社会责任感是帮助减少暴力事件的策略之一：在公众中教育和宣传社会责任价值观可以减少医疗机构中的暴力事件，从而有助于提高护理安全和质量：公众通过参与研究做出了贡献。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Clinical Nursing (JCN) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of nursing practice. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports the practice and discipline of nursing. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, JCN seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on promoting critical debate on the art and science of nursing practice. JCN is essential reading for anyone involved in nursing practice, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. The development of clinical practice and the changing patterns of inter-professional working are also central to JCN''s scope of interest. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice. We publish high quality papers from across the methodological spectrum that make an important and novel contribution to the field of clinical nursing (regardless of where care is provided), and which demonstrate clinical application and international relevance.
