VIOLENCE AU TRAVAIL EN MILIEU DE SANTE : EFFET DU GENRE ET DEXPERIENCE PROFESSIONNELLE DU PERSONNEL INFIRMIER MAROCAIN

The objective of this study is to explore the nature of workplace violence among nursing staff at the Mother and Child Hospital - CHU of Fès. This study could provide a better understanding of how gender and years of professional experience influence nurses perceptions of experiences of violence, whether verbal or physical, in the workplace. The study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire completed by 182 individuals working in various departments of the Mother and Child Hospital - CHU of Fès. The sample consists of 14% male respondents (25 male nurses) and 86% female respondents (157 female nurses). The average age is 34.24, and the average seniority is 11.32 years.The results reveal that the types of violence encountered by nurses may take different forms, ranging from systematic isolation at work to changes in professional duties, as well as person-oriented violence and degrading treatment in the workplace. Furthermore, we showed that the number of years of professional experience has a negative and statistically significant effect on the exposure of nursing staff to workplace violence.
