Occupational Violence/Bullying in the Health Industry

Claire Mayhew

Chapter 6 in Safeguarding the Organization against Violence and Bullying, 2004, pp 110-128 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is focused specifically on health workers’ experiences of occupational violence/bullying. The discussion begins with an overview of the research evidence about the different forms of occupational violence experienced by various health professional groups, and then moves to an in-depth analysis of preventive strategies. The most appropriate starting point for the discussions in this chapter is with the only substantive international study of occupational violence in the health care industry ever conducted.
