    Preventing violence in health and nursing
    (Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2020) Duarte, Cristiano; Matias, Claudia; Magalhaes, Regina
    Violence is a serious social problem in today’s world, as increases in the levels of aggression are detected each year. Each of us has been a victim, a witness, or even a perpetrator. It causes a great deal of mental trauma which impacts people’s lives. According to the Confederation of Independent Bulgarian Union of Health and Medicinal Institutions, about 7.5% of the medical staff was subjected to physical abuse, 71% of which were women. Most often (40.7%), the target of physical abuse are nurses, mostly by the patients. More than one-third of the medical staff were victims of mental violence, mainly verbal harassment and psychological abuse. It is again the nurses who are at the most risk of this type of abuse, a substantial 28% of them for whom the abuse caused by their superiors arises as part of the administrative part of their occupation. Violence is a highly prominent problem with long-lasting repercussions on the mental health and behaviour of those who conduct it and of those who experience it. The purpose of this research is to document the cases and to propose a mechanism to prevent violence which, when acted upon, will reduce the outbursts of this antisocial behaviour. In order to achieve the intended results, one has to: raise awareness of the problem at hand among their community. The main message is for people to be mindful not to come across as disparaging towards the victims of abuse. The media is the most appropriate tool for spreading knowledge about abuse among the general public. include groups, organisations and institutions into the preventative work, which will increase the potential for restricting the problem. This is possible by increasing awareness and involving like-minded supporters of the cause. Encourage prevention which takes a different form when it is discussed with potential victims of abuse. In this regard, individual meetings with the victims can be organised where personalised advice can be shared with them. The social problem of aggression increases every year. The first step towards its resolution is the establishment of good social role models. Prevention is a life-long process which empowers one with decision-taking towards steering them away from the potential of being the target of abuse. This is what we strive for nowadays.

    Respect for human dignity and preventing violence in health and nursing - contribution of nursing diagnosis analysis
    (Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2020) Duarte, Christiano; Magalhaes, Regina; Caseiro, Helena
    Respect for human dignity plays a key role in the quality of nursing care, is defined as one of the objectives of the World Health Organization. The International Council of Nurses has also defined, as one of the ethical objectives of nursing care, the maintenance of the dignity of the person. By studying the nursing diagnosis of the NANDA - I classification, “Risk of Impaired Human Dignity” in people who already needed healthcare, in order to raise their level of evidence, we sought to identify which risk factors are present. That is, what can influence the vulnerability of the individual to perceive the way they are more or less susceptible to the perception of loss of respect on the part of others, which can constitute violence against them. Of the risk factors identified for this nursing diagnosis, those that appear in the literature review we performed, as most frequent are: • Insufficient understanding of health information; • cultural incongruity; • Invasion of privacy; • Disclosure of confidential information, and Invasion of privacy. The importance of this study reveals that if nurses are aware of what is perceived by patients as potentially compromising their dignity and eventually a form of violence, they can implement actions to reduce or eliminate risk while preparing better. and in a more appropriate and scientifically structured way, the nursing students who advise on internships and clinical teaching. At the same time, they contribute to a reduction in situations that can be perceived by patients as compromising their dignity and preventing violence in health.
