Özet:

This study focuses on the investigation of health workers who are exposed to violence in Turkey’s thoughts on the causes and ways of prevention of violence and the factors that determine the level of exposure to violence. In Ankara, 429 of the 600 survey forms sent to health workers who are working in a public, private and university hospital with a 112 station were fully answered. People under the age of 30 have been less exposed to violence than other age groups; there is no difference between their educational conditions in their exposure to violence. Emergency, internal and surgical services have been shown to be more exposed to violence than intensive care, surgery, radiology and laboratory departments, and less exposed to violence in private hospitals. The study also addressed the opinions of employees on the post-violence reporting behavior, the possible causes and measures of violence.
