The violent incidents ranking from high to low were: verbal abuse, threat, physical attack, sexual harassment, and gathering disturbance. The majority of the nursing students chose to avoid the conflict during the incident. 86.34% of the students didn\u2019t report the incidents. More than half of the victims developed post-traumatic stress disorder after the incidents.
