As long as there is an animal in the human, it will search for prey and try to tear seemingly weaker ones

Abstract

We appreciated to read the article by Balsak et al. on a cross-sectional observational study on the dynamics of workplace violence (WPV) among 390 healthcare workers (HCW) in a single tertiary hospital in Turkye [1]. It was found that exposure to WPV predicted job engagement and that skills in managing WPV increased job engagement [1]. Job engagement in younger less experienced HCWs was low [1]. It was concluded that WPV is common and reduces job engagement [1]. The study is remarkable but several points require discussion.
