Yu\u2010Li Hospital, Department of Health, Executive Yuan, Taiwan<\/jats:bold>\u2014Workplace violence, a possible cause of job stress, has recently become an important concern in occupational health. This study determined the prevalence of workplace violence and its risk factors for employees at a psychiatric hospital in Taiwan. A questionnaire developed by ILO\/ICN\/WHO\/PSI was first translated and validated. It was then used to survey the prevalence of workplace violence in the last 12 months experienced by all nursing aides, nurses, and clerks at the hospital. Multiple logistic regression models were constructed to discover the determinants of violence. A total of 222 out of 231 surveyed workers completed a valid questionnaire. The one\u2010year prevalence rates of physical violence (PV), verbal abuse, bullying\/mobbing, sexual harassment, and racial harassment were 35.1, 50.9, 15.8, 9.5, and 4.5%, respectively. The prevalence of PV at this hospital was higher than that reported by other countries for the health sector. A high anxiety level was associated with the occurrence of PV. These results need to be corroborated by future investigation. A training program may be required for high risk groups to reduce workplace violence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1539\/joh.l7132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,13]],"date-time":"2008-06-13T05:53:19Z","timestamp":1213336399000},"page":"288-293","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":121,"title":["Prevalence
