Violence and burnout in health care emergency workers in Santiago, Chile: A survey-based cross-sectional study
2019, International Emergency NursingCitation Excerpt :The World Health Organization (WHO) reports seven types of risk for these workers (biological, chemical, physical ergonomic, psychosocial, fire and explosion and electrical) [1]. Dorevitch and Forst [2] mention ten hazards to which emergency physicians are exposed. Both sources mention stress and violence.
An association between occupancy rates in the emergency department and rates of violence toward staff
2012, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :The effects of the hostility in the ED upon staff are significant. Staff have been shown to suffer emotional symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder, job dissatisfaction, and early feelings of burnout, while hospitals suffer the financial burden of decreased productivity and excessive lawsuits (8,10,11,14,15). The current rate of violence towards staff in the ED is reported to be 2.0 to 2.8 incidents per 1000 patients, and rising (11,16–18).
