Abstract

Violence, a problematic phenomenon experienced in different forms (physical, verbal, symbolic, sexual, etc.), is increasingly prominent in sociological analysis. Violence is an unwanted aspect of everyday life experience; it is common in traffic incidences, in the family, in the workplace, and in personal interactions almost everywhere. In recent years, women and health professionals (doctors and non-doctors) in particular have been subjected to violence. Violence against women and children has become remarkably commonplace. An increase in violence against physicians and healthcare professionals as part of this more hostile environment could be observed.Violence against doctors is now a global problem.The well-being of health workers has been disrupted not only by the changing dynamics in doctor-patient relationships, but also by the general environment of insecurity. All forms of violence must be condemned; not only healthcare workers but also the decion makers have to deal with the issue of violence collectively and systematically.

Sağlık Hizmetlerinde Şiddet

Abstract

Şiddet farklı şekillerde (fiziksel, sözel, sembolik, cinsel vb.) yaşanan sorunlu bir olgudur ve sosyolojik incelemelerde giderek daha fazla öne çıkmaktadır. Şiddet günlük yaşam deneyiminin bir parçası olmamalıdır; ancak trafikte, ailede, işyerinde sıkça karşılaşılır ve neredeyse her yerde kişisel etkileşimler gerçekleşir. Son yıllarda, özellikle kadınlar ve sağlık çalışanları (doktorlar ve doktor olmayanlar) şiddete uğramaktadır. Bunun en çarpıcı örneği kadına ve çocuğa yönelik şiddettir. Çevremizdeki bu düşmanca çevrenin bir parçası olarak, hekimlere ve sağlık çalışanlarına yönelik şiddetin arttığını gözlemliyoruz. Doktorlara karşı şiddet artık küresel bir sorundur. Sağlık çalışanlarının refahı yalnızca doktor-hasta ilişkilerindeki değişen dinamikler tarafından değil, aynı zamanda genel güvensizlik ortamı nedeniyle de bozulmuştur. Şiddetin tüm biçimleri kınanmalıdır; şiddet konusu yalnızca sağlık çalışanları değil aynı zamanda karar koyucular tarafından da örgütlü ve sistematik olarak ele alınmalıdır.
