摘要：
Workplace violence is an underreported occupational hazard which has various impacts on many healthcare workers (HCWs). The reasons behind violence in the workplace vary. However, investigations into violent incidents could provide information regarding the causes of the event and planning future preventive measures. Healthcare workers are exposed to various types of violence in their environment; the majority of these cases are threats, verbal abuse and assault. A policy to protect all healthcare workers from future violent incidents needs to be established and implemented.
