Workplace violence, psychological stress, sleep quality and subjective health in Chinese doctors: a large cross-sectional study

Abstract

In China, most doctors have encountered various WPV from patients and their relatives. The prevalence of three new types of WPV have been investigated in our study, which have been rarely mentioned in past research. A safer work environment for Chinese healthcare workers needs to be provided to minimise health threats, which is a top priority for both government and society.
