Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between socio-demographic factors and the incidence of workplace violence. METHODOLOGY: This was a Cross-sectional research design study, effectively integrating quantitative and descriptive methods. The data collection period took place in August of 2023. This approach facilitated an exhaustive data collection, subsequently analyzed statistically and presented in a narrative format. Researchers used three statistical tests, Pearson correlation, Spearman rank, and Chi-square analyses, to examine the correlation between variables. The study comprised 433 hospital nurses who met the established inclusion criteria. The data was collected using standard questionnaires that underwent thorough validation and reliability testing to ensure accurate results. The investigation was carried out with the aid of IBM SPSS v.26. RESULTS: A comprehensive analysis found that solely the attributes of the working area (0.00) and the protocols for reporting WPV (0.017) exhibited a noteworthy correlation with the quantity of WPV occurrences reported by nurses in Aceh Province. Other variables failed to demonstrate a significant correlation, with p-values spanning from 0.122 to 0.928. CONCLUSION: To enhance the safety and well-being of employees, it is crucial to consider their sociodemographic backgrounds. Education, training, protection, and support can help prevent workplace violence. Clear job descriptions, efficient communication, and a structured work environment can promote a healthier workplace. Prioritizing every team member's safety and overall wellness is vital in fostering a thriving work culture. |
