Workplace violence (WPV) against healthcare providers is a serious problem that carries health, safety, and legal consequences. Healthcare providers working in emergency departments (ED) are more susceptible to WPV compared to other healthcare settings. These occupational hazards have been investigated in recent times and received greater attention from decision-makers. Although WPV is a global issue, significant differences in the causes and specific forms of WPV have been reported between healthcare settings and countries. Further, the prevalence of WPV is reportedly correlated with the prevalence of violence in general society. Accordingly, it is important to consider cultural differences between countries when evaluating the prevalence and causes of WPV. The study aims to investigate the prevalence, nature, and impact of workplace violence against health care providers in emergency departments. The objectives include identifying the types of violence experienced by health care providers, understanding the factors contributing to workplace violence, examining the consequences of violence on the physical and mental well-being of providers, and evaluating the existing policies and interventions aimed at preventing and managing workplace violence. In summary, workplace violence directed towards emergency department healthcare providers is a grave concern that necessitates prompt attention and intervention. Ensuring the delivery of high-quality patient care is contingent upon the safety and well-being of these experts. It is critical that healthcare organisations put thorough policies and procedures in place to stop and deal with workplace violence. This entails creating a culture of zero tolerance for violence and giving staff employees the necessary training, tools, and support. In the end, both patients and staff will benefit from a more secure and comfortable working environment that puts the safety of healthcare professionals first.
