Abstract

PARAVIC-KLIJN, Tatiana; BURGOS-MORENO, Mónica  and  LUENGO-MACHUCA, Luis. Mobbing and associated factors in emergency health care workers. Index Enferm [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.4, pp.201-205.  Epub Jan 20, 2020. ISSN 1699-5988.

Objective:

Determine workplace harassment and associated factors in workers who work in emergency services of public and private health facilities.

Method:

Quantitative, correlational and transversal research. Probabilistic sample stratified by occupations and by establishments, confidence interval 95%, margin of error 5%, represented by 366 workers. Sociodemographic and labor harassment sections of the "Work Violence in the Health Sector" survey were used. It counted on approvals of scientific ethical committees, and informed consent. A descriptive and inferential analysis was carried out.

Results:

The prevalence of workplace harassment was 14.3%, being three times higher in public establishments. Being a woman and being single was statistically significant only for public hospitals. Only in one case the victim sued legally.

Conclusions:

Workplace harassment should concern employers and workers, to establish measures that favor a healthy work environment free of violence.
