Healthcare services are one of the fundamental building blocks of modern societies. Health is the most basic need of life and an indispensable human right. However, the relationship between healthcare workers and patients today brings about many complex and challenging situations. One of the most distressing and alarming aspects of these complexities is the increasing violence against healthcare workers. Violence against healthcare workers has become a preventable global public health emergency issue, observed with increasing frequency worldwide. This unacceptable situation, which needs to be examined multidimensionally and is dependent on various factors, requires urgent solutions to be addressed effectively. This book examines the issue of violence against healthcare workers, its causes, and the prevention strategies implemented in different countries. It delves into the crimes of violence that can be committed against healthcare workers and their legal sanctions, anger, aggression, mobbing, risk and crisis management, public health protection approaches in preventing violence, and the ethical dimensions of violence. It evaluates the concepts of healthcare services and healthcare workers, the rights and responsibilities of healthcare workers, and the rights of patients. Each chapter of the book focuses on a different aspect of the issue, providing readers with a comprehensive perspective. This book not only aims to understand the violence faced by healthcare workers but also explores how we can reduce these adversities and make the healthcare environment safer. In this challenging period, developing scientifically based approaches to reduce and prevent violence against healthcare workers is our collective responsibility. This book should be seen as a significant step towards fulfilling this responsibility. Additionally, it serves as an important guide for those striving to reduce and prevent violence against healthcare workers. We hope this book contributes to creating a safe and respectful environment free from violence in healthcare services.
