Özet:

 Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the issue of violence in healthcare from the perspective of physicians in Sivas, Turkiye, and Sibiu, Romania. Method: This research was conducted as a descriptive study. The study population comprised 500 participants from Turkiye and 200 from Romania. A 23-item data collection form, developed by the researchers, was used. The form was divided into sections covering sociodemographic characteristics, history of exposure to violence, and perspectives on violence. The form was initially created in Turkish, translated into Romanian, and underwent content validity assessment. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 software, applying descriptive statistical analysis, chi-square tests, and independent samples T-tests. Results: Of the participants, 44 were from Turkiye and 56 from Romania. The rate of exposure to violence in healthcare was found to be 76 in Turkiye and 44 in Romania. In Romania, the most frequent setting for violence was the emergency department 53.7, while in Turkiye, violence occurred equally in emergency departments and outpatient clinics 46.5. The proportion of physicians considering working abroad due to healthcare-related violence was 33 in Turkiye and 5 in Romania. Physicians in both countries recommended legal reforms and stricter penalties, enhancing security in healthcare facilities, raising public awareness, and improving communication as key measures to prevent violence in healthcare. Conclusions: Violence in healthcare was identified as a significant issue in both countries. The locations and causes of violence were similar. Turkish physicians expressed a higher desire to emigrate due to violence in healthcare. It is essential for policymakers in both countries to urgently address the prevention of violence in healthcare.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada Türkiye Sivasta ve Romanya Sibiuda sağlıkta şiddeti doktorların gözünden değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmamız tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Araştırma evreni Türkiyeden 500, Romanyadan 200 kişiden oluşmaktaydı. Araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan 23 soruluk veri toplama formu kullanıldı. Formun bölümleri; sosyodemografik özellikler, şiddet öyküsü ve şiddete bakış açısı şeklindeydi. Form Türkçe olarak oluşturuldu, sonrasında Romenceye çevrilip kapsam geçerliliği yapıldı. Veriler SPSS 22.0 paket programı ile analiz edildi. Tanımlayıcı analizler, ki-kare testi, bağımsız örneklem T testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 44ü Türkiyeden 56sı Romanyadandı. Sağlıkta şiddete maruz kalma oranı Türkiyede 76, Romanyada 44 olarak bulundu. Şiddetin yeri ise Romanyada en sık acil servisler 53,7 iken, Türkiyede acil servis ve poliklinik eşit 46,5 olarak bulundu. Sağlıkta şiddet nedeniyle yurt dışında çalışmayı düşünen hekimlerin oranı Türkiyede 33, Romanyada ise 5di. Sağlıkta şiddeti önlemek için her iki ülkedeki hekimlerin de önerileri; yasaların düzenlenmesi ve cezai yaptırımların artırılması, sağlık kuruluşlarında güvenliğin artırılması, halkı bilinçlendirme ve iletişimin iyileştirilmesiydi. Sonuç: Sağlıkta şiddetin her iki ülkede de sorun olduğu tespit edildi. Şiddetin yaşandığı birimler ve sebepleri benzerdi. Türk hekimlerin sağlıkta şiddet nedeniyle beyin göçü gerçekleştirme isteği daha fazlaydı. Her iki ülke için de politika yapıcıların sağlıkta şiddeti önlemek konusunu acil olarak gündeme alması gerekmektedir.
