violent attack, medical violence, legal protection, prevention and control countermeasures

Violent crimes against medical personnel not only jeopardize the physical and mental health of medical staff but also have a negative impact on the entire medical environment. Therefore, it is important to determine the prevalence of violent attacks on medical personnel and to invest in crime prevention programs and legal safeguards. The population of this study consisted of 305 nurses and doctors from China. The results showed that most of the respondents were nurses, female, 31 to 40 years old, mostly with a bachelor's degree, working in the surgical department, and with 11 to 15 years of medical experience. Most of the respondents strongly agreed that the reasons for violent attacks were patient deaths and long waiting times and that the attacks were physical in nature and occurred in doctors' offices. In addition, subgroup analyses revealed significant differences in respondents' answers regarding the physical, psychological, economic, and reaction to facing a violent attack. There was a significant relationship between the nature (location) of the violent attack and the response of the victimized medical staff to the violent attack in the hospital and the response to the violent attack in the hospital where the attack occurred. In terms of type, there was a significant relationship between the nature of the violent attack and the response of the hospital where the attack occurred, but not with the reaction of the medical staff victim to the violent attack. Finally, in terms of causal attribution, there was a significant relationship between the nature of the violent attack and the response of the hospital where the attack occurred. Still there was no significant relationship with the response of the victimized medical staff to the violent attack. Based on the results of this study, we make recommendations for strengthening crime prevention programs (or victim assistance programs) and legal safeguards in China.
