Workplace violence against emergency physicians: A cross-sectional study on the role of communication skills.
Article in Turkish journal of emergency medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesWorkplace violence (WPV) is a critical issue affecting healthcare professionals, posing significant risks to their safety and well-being. This study investigates WPV among emergency physicians in Türkiye, examining the relationship between WPV and physicians' communication skills.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2023, involving 63 emergency physicians recruited through a convenience sampling method. Participants completed an online survey that included demographic questions, the Turkish version of the Health Professionals Communication Skills Scale (HP-CSS-TR), and self-evaluation items on communication skills.
resultsThe findings revealed high WPV prevalence, with 85.7% of participants reporting verbal aggression during their residency and 90.5% during their specialty period. Physical violence was reported by 31.7% of participants during residency and 27.0% during their specialty period. Participants' HP-CSS-TR scores averaged 86.08, indicating relatively high communication skills. No significant relationships were found between HP-CSS-TR scores and demographic characteristics such as gender, age, or years of experience. A moderate positive correlation was observed between participants' self-evaluations and their HP-CSS-TR scores in the dimensions of empathy and respect, suggesting alignment between perceived and actual communication skills in these areas. Weak correlations were found in informative communication and social skills, highlighting areas for improvement in communication training programs.
conclusionsThis study highlights the critical issue of WPV against emergency physicians and its association with communication skills, emphasizing the complexities of high-stress environments such as emergency departments. It underscores the need for continued research and systemic interventions to enhance workplace safety and the well-being of healthcare professionals.
