The Underreporting of Workplace Violence in Healthcare and How to Address It
In the United States alone, 73% of all workplace violence incidents happen in the healthcare sector, which means that healthcare workers are between five and six times more likely to be attacked than in any other private workplace. However, more alarming is the fact that 88% of these incidents go unreported. This underreporting of workplace violence incidents is due to healthcare workers' beliefs that violence is an expected part of the job, beliefs that no action will be taken against perpetrators of violence, fear of negative consequences from reporting, and a lack of easily accessible reporting systems.
