Sağlık çalışanları ve işyerınde şiddet

İşyerinde şiddet, dünya genelinde yaygın ve endişe verici bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Sağlık çalışanları özellikle risk altındadırlar ve diğer sektörlerde çalışanlara göre şiddete maruz kalma risklerinin 4 ila 16 kat daha fazla olduğu tahmin edilmektedir. Ortak kabul edilmiş şiddet tanımlarının olmayışı ve çalışmalardaki yöntem farklılıkları nedeni ile dünyada şiddete maruz kalma sıklıkları ile ilgili olarak oldukça farklı sonuçlar bildirilmiştir (herhangi bir şiddet türü: %22,0 - %88,6; fiziksel şiddet: %2,6 - %57,0; sözel şiddet: %24,3 - %82,0; cinsel taciz: %1,9 - %10,5). Tüm sağlık çalışanları güvenli bir ortamda çalışma hakkına sahiptirler. Sağlık çalışanlarının sağlık ve güvenliklerinin korunması, hastaların sağlık ve güvenliklerinin korunması kadar öncelikli ve önemlidir. Ülkemiz için de önemli bir sorun olan işyerinde şiddetin oluşumunda toplumsal, kültürel, çevresel, kurumsal, organizasyonel, bireysel bir çok risk faktörü rol oynar. Bütün bu faktörler gözönüne alınarak sağlık çalışanlarının şiddete maruz kalma durumları ciddiyetle ele alınmalı ve işyerinde şiddet olaylarını önlemeye yönelik stratejiler, politikalar geliştirilmelidir.
