Two study methods, a survey and a key informant interview, were conducted at a general hospital in southern Thailand. A total of 545 out of 594 questionnaires sent were returned for statistical analysis (response rate=91.7%). The 12\u2010month prevalence of violence experience was 38.9% for verbal abuse, 3.1% for physical abuse, and 0.7% for sexual harassment. Psychological consequences including poor relationships with colleagues and family members were the major concerns. Patients and their relatives were the main perpetrators in verbal and physical abuse while co\u2010workers were the main perpetrators in cases of sexual harassment. Common factors to incidents of violence were psychological setting, illness of the perpetrators, miscommunication, and alcohol use. Logistic regression analysis showed younger age to be a personal risk factor. Working in the out\u2010patient unit, trauma and emergency unit, operating room, or medical or surgical unit increased the odds of violence by 80%. Training related to violence prevention and control was found to be effective and decreased the risk of being a victim of violence by 40%. We recommend providing training to high risk groups as a means of controlling workplace violence directed at nursing staff.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1539\/joh.o7001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,10]],"date-time":"2008-04-10T01:51:46Z","timestamp":1207792306000},"page":"201-207","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":134,"title":["Workplace Violence Directed at Nursing Staff at a General Hospital in Southern Thailand"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Chalermrat","family":"Kamchuchat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine Prince of Songkla University Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Virasakdi","family":"Chongsuvivatwong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology Unit, Faculty of Medicine Prince of Songkla University Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suparnee","family":"Oncheunjit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Nursing, Faculty of Nursing Prince of Songkla University Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teem Wing","family":"Yip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Flinders University Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rassamee","family":"Sangthong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology Unit, Faculty of Medicine Prince of Songkla University Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","volume-title":"Nurses Always There for You: United Against Violence","author":"International Council of Nurses","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1744-6198.1999.tb00988.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0168-8510(02)00142-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1547-5069.1998.tb01300.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.0966-0429.2001.00262.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2648.2002.02269.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-172X.2003.00431.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-0979.2003.00269.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/men.2002.121835"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"ElliottPP:Violence in health care.Nursing Management December 38\u201341(1997)","DOI":"10.1097\/00006247-199712000-00012"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_1","volume-title":"Guidelines for preventing workplace violence for health\u2010care and social\u2010service workers","author":"OSHA Occupational Safety and Health Administration","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_1","volume-title":"Relationship between work stress and workplace violence in the health sector","author":"Martino V","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_1","volume-title":"EpiData (version 3.1).
