Abstract
Objective
to analyze the occurrence of different types of violence in the work of Nursing in the Family Health Strategy and the implications of the labor and worker aspects.
Method
a mixed, explanatory, sequential study, with 169 nursing workers of the Family Health Strategy. As instruments of data collection, the Survey Questionnaire Workplace Violence in the Health Sector and the semi-structured interview were used.
Results
episodes of verbal aggression with better averages were found in the assessment of recognition and relationships at work and the highest use of medication. Workplace bullying was associated with the participants' white skin color, the position of nurse, more negative evaluations about work recognition and interpersonal relationships, and a greater concern with violence. Sexual harassment was associated with the position of nursing technician/auxiliary and the lack of encouragement to report violence. Racial discrimination was associated with brown/black skin color and reduced job satisfaction.
Conclusion and implications for practice
the analysis of the factors that are associated with specific types of violence makes it possible to better determine institutional measures and policies that minimize violent acts against nursing workers.
