This is an Open Access article: verbatim copying and redistribution of this article are permitted in all media for any purpose, provided this notice is preserved along with the article's original URL.This article characterizes the problem of violence against health professionals in the workplace (VAHPITWP) in selected settings in Portugal. It addresses the questions of what types of violence are most frequent and who are the most affected health professionals. Three methodological approaches were followed: (i) documentary studies, (ii) a questionnairebased hospital and health centre (HC) complex case study and (iii) semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. Of the different types of violence, all our study approaches confirm that verbal violence is the most frequent. Discrimination, not infrequent in the hospital, seems to be underestimated by the stakeholders interviewed. Violence seems much more frequent in the HC than in the hospital. In the HC, all types of violence are also most frequently directed against female health workers and, in the hospital, against male workers. These studies allow us to conclude that violence is frequent but underreported.This study was initiated by an international consortium of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the World Health Organization, the International Council of Nurses and Public Service International. The study shared a core joint protocol, definitions of violence and questionnaire with other studies in other countries. The Portuguese component of the study was funded by the ILO, the AGO, the Sindicato dos Enfermeiros Portugueses (Nurses Union) and the APMCG (Portuguese General Practitioners Association).BioMed CentralRepositório da Universidade de LisboaFerrinho, PauloBiscaia, AndréFronteira, InêsCraveiro, IsabelAntunes, Ana RitaConceição, CláudiaFlores, IsabelSantos, Osvaldo2015-03-10T15:16:25Z20032003-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/17688engHuman Resources for Health 2003, 1:111478-4491http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1478-4491-1-11info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-08T16:03:26Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/17688Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:37:28.817697Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
