Violence Facing Nurses: A Hidden Crisis in Jordanian Hospitals

JordanWednesday, January 22, 2025

Imagine you're a nurse in a remote Jordanian hospital. You're used to long hours and tough conditions, but something else is lurking in the background – workplace violence (WPV). Shockingly, a third of all WPV globally happens in the health sector, and Jordanian nurses seem to be dealing with an underreported issue. The sad reality is that we don't know much about what causes this violence or its effects on nurses. WPV isn't just about physical beatings or harsh words. It covers a broad range of nasty behaviors, from threats to sexual harassment. Why is it such a big deal? Well, it can wreck a nurse's mental health, and that's not all. It can even make them leave their job, leaving hospitals short-staffed. But why does it happen? Researchers point to several factors. The high-pressure environment of hospitals can lead to stressed-out patients and visitors lashing out. Plus, there's often a lack of clear security plans to protect nurses. Jordanian nurses need support, and it starts with talking openly about the problem. Proper training and safety measures could make a world of difference. It's time to shine a light on this silent crisis and take action to keep our healthcare heroes safe.
