Abstract:

Verbal violence in medical setting has emerged as a global issue demanding immediate resolution. This article provides an overview of the concept and types of hospital verbal violence among nurses，the current prevalence and coping strategies. It is found that the incidence of verbal violence among nurses varies significantly across different countries，verbal violence incidents occur frequently in medical settings but nurses have a weak willingness to report such incidents actively，nurses are subjected to dual assaults of verbal violence from both within and outside the organization. The coping strategies primarily include utilizing violence risk assessment tools to enhance nurses' ability to recognize early signs of violence；scientifically conducting specialized violence prevention training to comprehensively improve nurses' skills in responding to violence；and improving the legal framework for workplace violence in medical institutions, with increased penalties for verbal violence，to strengthen the punishment of verbal violence behaviors. The aim of this article is to heighten the attention of the entire society to the verbal violence endured by nurses in medical settings and offer references for further intervention research and the promotion of a safe practice environment for nurses.
