N2  - PURPOSE: We examined demographic, work-related, and behavioral factors associated with witnessing and/or experiencing workplace violence among healthcare workers. DESIGN AND METHODS: Utilizing a correlational design, we analyzed the data to determine the associative factors related to workplace violence among the participants. <br><br>FINDINGS: More than half of the participants (54.5%) reported witnessing (23.8%) or experiencing (30.7%) workplace violence. There were significant differences between health provider groups in witnessing or experiencing workplace violence (Χ(2)  = 41.9[df12], p < 0.0001). Moreover, the experience of workplace violence differed by practice setting (Χ(2)  = 65.9[df14], p < 0.0001), with highest rates occurring in psychiatric (45.1%) and emergency (44.1%) services. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Findings may inform research, policies, and practice interventions to assess risks for workplace violence and implement preventative policies within high-risk professional groups and settings.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
