Implication

Literature review identifies individual and organizational barriers affecting workplace violence reporting in nurses, suggesting effective interventions.

Key Points

Workplace violence prevalence among nurses ranges from 13.6% to nearly 90%, indicating a significant issue in healthcare settings.
Despite high incidence rates, reporting of workplace violence remains low due to various personal and organizational barriers.
A literature review analyzed 11 studies across 10 Asian countries, focusing on reporting behaviors and the impacts on nurse safety.
Addressing underreporting requires supportive systems, training on violence management, and fostering a culture of safety.
