Magnitude of workplace violence and its associated factors against nurses working in public hospitals of Western Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWorkplace violence (WPV) is a situation in which employees are harassed, intimidated, or assaulted at work or while commuting to and from work. Even though WPV can result in physical and psychological suffering, little evidence is available in Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to assess magnitude of workplace violence and its associated factors against nurses working in public hospitals of Western Ethiopia.
methodsAn institution based cross-sectional study was carried out among nurses working in five public hospitals found in east Wollega from September 15 to October 1, 2022. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 396 study participants. Self-administered adapted questionnaire and semi structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Data was coded and entered Epi data 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20 analysis. Bi-variable and multivariable logistic regressions were done. Level of association was determined using adjusted odds ratio at 95% confidence interval and p-values of < 0.05.
resultsThe prevalence of Workplace violence in the last 12 months was 42.8%. Age group 25-29 years [AOR:3.93, 95% CI = 1.2, 13.3) and 30-34 years [AOR:4.01, 95%CI = 1.4, 11.8], Married nurses [AOR:0.4, 95%CI = 0.2, 0.92], work experience = < 5 years [AOR:2.21, 95%CI = 1.27, 3.82] working between 6:30- 7:30 PM o'clock [AOR:3.49,95%CI = 1.4,8.62], availability of reporting system [AOR:2.58, 95%CI = 1.04, 6.4], Encouragement to report violence[AOR:3.98, 95%CI = 2.05, 7.72], substance use [AOR:3.56, 95%CI = 1.49, 8.46] and nurses ever stressed by job [AOR:3.66, 95%CI = 1.8, 7.34] were significantly associated with workplace violence. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: In the current study Workplace violence among nurses was high. Therefore, an intervention like developing reporting system, encouragement to report the violence and training that focuses on prevention and controlling of violence is recommended.
