Perpetrators were patients and patients\u2019 caregivers, followed by co-workers. Victims suffered from various psychological symptoms, such as anxiety (22%\u201354%), fear (6%\u201339%), depression (32%) and repeated disturbing memories (21%). Risk factors included female gender, understaffing, worker inexperience, poor communication and lengthy waiting times.
