Characteristics of included studies and quality assessment results.

AimIn the present study, we aimed to provide an epidemiological and descriptive overview of violence against healthcare workers in an Italian university hospital, presenting and characterizing the risk factors in the department where such events occur and to propose ways to prevent aggressive behaviors.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed violence against healthcare workers by patients and attendants at an Italian university hospital from 2020 to 2022. Aggressions were documented in anonymous incident reports collected by the hospital’s Clinical Risk Unit. The frequencies and percentages were calculated via a descriptive analysis. Chi-square tests were used to compare the wards with the most aggressions to other wards.ResultsOf the 219 included cases, the aggressors were primarily male patients and the victims female nurses. Most of the aggressions occurred in the psychiatry and emergency department. Among the aggressors, 41.1%, had a psychiatric diagnosis or neurocognitive impairment. Over half the cases involved physical aggression. Compared to other wards, psychiatric wards showed an even distribution of aggressor gender, a higher proportion of male victims, fewer verbal aggressions, and less impact from environmental factors. Notably, female aggressor status (p 

In 2023, women accounted for almost ** percent of the nursing personnel in Peru, while only *** in every ten people working in the sector were men. In that year, there was an average ratio of *** nurses per doctor in the South American country.

People who need personal care or nursing due to an illness, disorder or disability can make use of district nursing under the Healthcare Insurance Act (Zvw). It is possible to purchase this care in kind and/or via a personal budget (pgb). This table provides information about the use during a year (reporting year), the use on a certain reference date and the scope of care and average expenditure per care user of district nursing. The figures are broken down by gender, age on 31 December of the year under review, care type district nursing, type of care delivery and region. Data available from: 2015 Status of the figures: The figures for the last year are provisional, the figures for previous years are final. Changes as of 25 January 2022: Provisional figures for 2020 have been added. The volume figures for 2019 have been adjusted and then made final. In the case of declarations for services that fall under 'comprehensive district nursing services', the volume was previously estimated on the basis of the invoiced amount and the average rate of a similar service, if any, and otherwise on the basis of the average rate of total district nursing. From 2019, the volume of services that fall under 'comprehensive district nursing services' is estimated on the basis of the average rate for total district nursing and the amount claimed. This change of method results in a difference in total volume for 2019 of less than 1% with the provisional figures. When will new numbers come out? The provisional figures will be published no later than 18 months after the end of the year under review. When new annual figures are published, the figures for the previous year become final.

BackgroundNight-shift ICU nurses are highly vulnerable to work-related stress, impacting performance, patient safety, and burnout risk.AimTo assess the prevalence and sources of work-related stress among ICU nurses working night shifts and to explore the relationships between stress levels and selected demographic and professional variables.MethodA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 362 ICU nurses working at Mansoura University Hospitals. Participants completed a two-part questionnaire comprising a nurses’ demographic data sheet and a validated Arabic version of the Revised Nursing Stress Scale (RNSS). Data were collected via a Google Form between January 10, 2025, and April 30, 2025, and analyzed using SPSS version 21.0, employing descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and reliability testing.ResultsNearly 60% of participants reported moderate to high levels of stress. The highest stress scores were associated with workload, interactions with patients and their families, and supervisory issues. Female nurses reported significantly higher stress levels related to death and dying, patient-family interactions, and discrimination (p
