Workplace Violence (WPV) is a phenomenon that widely and frequently affects Healthcare Workers (HCWs) and is recognized by the ILO as a major threat to workers' safety and health. This webinar aims to provide a multidisciplinary approach to this phenomenon, exploring the frequency and impact on the occupational health of HCWs from medical, cardiovascular, and psychological perspectives. Special attention will be given to gender-based violence and the disproportionate exposure of women, who constitute the majority of the global healthcare workforce, as well as the consequences for mental health and healthcare service performance.
