摘要

背景:任何地方的工人都可能在工作场所受到攻击,受影响最严重的是服务提供者。在全球范围内,发病率最高的是卫生保健工作者,这是一种工作场所危害。目的:这是一篇调查尼日利亚卫生保健工作者遭受暴力负担的综述文章。材料和方法:为了提供针对医护人员的暴力行为的证据,使用PubMed、Ajol和谷歌Scholar数据库对尼日利亚针对医护人员的工作场所暴力(WPV)相关论文进行了叙述性回顾。我们发现,在卫生部门,针对卫生保健员的暴力行为很高。冲突局势和2019冠状病毒病大流行使情况进一步恶化。护士和医生是常见的受害者。最常见的肇事者是患者的同伴,其次是患者自己。更糟糕的是,受害者/幸存者可能对此做得很少或什么都不做。更糟糕的是,没有适当的协议来防止再次发生,所以受害者/幸存者可能很少或根本没有追索权。结论:脊髓灰质炎多发于卫生保健领域。因此,必须在所有尼日利亚建立报告制度,包括防止这种威胁的议定书。

Workplace violence against health care workers in Nigeria
Background: Workers anywhere are exposed to assault at the workplace and the worst affected are service providers. Globally, the highest incidence occurs among health-care workers (HCWs) and it is a workplace hazard. Aim: This is a review article investigating the burden of violence against HCWs in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: To provide the evidence of violence against HCWs, a narrative review of pertinent papers on workplace violence (WPV) against HCWs in Nigeria was conducted using the databases PubMed, Ajol, and Google Scholar. We found that violence against HCWs is high in the health sector. It is further worsened by conflict situations and the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses and physicians are the common victims. The most common perpetrators are companions of patients followed by the patients themselves. Worse still is that the victim/survivors may do little or nothing about it. Worse, there is no protocol in place to prevent recurrence, so victims/survivors may have little or no recourse. Conclusion: WPV occurs in health care. Therefore, there must be reporting systems in all Nigerian including protocols to prevent this menace.
