Objective: In this study, we tried to examine the white code data given in health institutions in Kırklareli. Method: In this retrospective and multicenter study, we examined the white code data reported by health personnel who experienced violence in all health units in Kırklareli between January 1, 2017, and June 30, 2022. The demographic data of the victim healthcare worker, their qualifications, the health institution and the unit worked for, the closeness of the perpetrator with the patient, the time and the reason for the violence were noted and analyzed with descriptive statistics. Results: When 360 'code white incident notification forms' in the study range were examined, it was seen that most of the victim healthcare workers (51.1%) were women. It was determined that violence was experienced at the highest rate in hospitals (66.9%) and outpatient clinics (41.1%). It was determined that physicians (60.0%) experienced more verbal violence (84.4%) than other healthcare personnel and the highest rate of violence was during working hours (59.7%). Conclusion: Unfortunately, the results in our province were found to be high in accordance with the literature. In these days, when violence in health is increasing, it is seen that the motivation of all health workers is deteriorating. This issue should be kept on the agenda until it is determined that there is no violence in health, and sanctions should be planned to prevent violence against health workers.
