Abstract
Study aim: To examine the incidence of sexual harassment of women staff by male hospital patients, and how experiencing it differs between doctors, nurses and nurse aides.
Methods: 434 women staff in three large Israeli hospitals completed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire on (a) the frequency of sexual harassment by patients, (b) the emotional effect of a described instance of harassment, (c) what action respondents would take if confronted by the same incident.
Results: Sexual harassment by male patients is common, ranges from mild innuendo to threats of rape, and creates great emotional distress. The younger the staff the more the harassment. Women doctors-the youngest staff group-were beset more than nurses and nurse aides and voiced the most negative emotional and behavioral reactions.
