Abstract

The stress that is experienced by our society daily, for various reasons, can exacerbate physical, moral, and psychological violence, among others, with higher intensity. This situation extrapolates in the workplace; This also concerns the health area, especially nursing personnel, who are more vulnerable. The objective of this article is to reflect on the impact generated by workplace violence and harassment on nursing personnel and the negative effect it can have on the victim, especially in the long term, and to make an analogy with a multi-resistant disease. This article presents the characteristics of the factors that influence violence and harassment at work: the harasser or aggressor, the victim, and the working conditions. Therefore, it becomes a necessity to address these three factors to stop and reduce harassment. The evidence is limited reveals that the nursing staff has suffered some violence and harassment between 19 - 44%, and the highest percentages are from family and coworkers (nursing staff and chief). In conclusion, based on the reflection made, workplace violence and harassment between and towards nursing personnel is a relevant topic, and urgently requires study and analysis of the profound damage and impact it generates.
