Overview
The issue of violence and aggression in healthcare facilities is recently very topical, suggesting a need for deeper learning of the issue. It is important to realize that violence against doctors, nurses and other health care professionals on the violence in the exercise of their profession. Increasing cases where health professionals become the victim's in saving lives, verbal or physical aggression by treated patients and their relatives or involved people. So as to exclude violence as an undesirable social phenomenon from clinical and nursing practice, it is necessary to define the boundaries of what is considered in the healthcare setting for violence. It is necessary to develop concrete measures to protect healthcare workers when exercising their profession and offer them safety in health care provision. Health professionals in Slovakia should be better protected while exercising their profession, as it gained greater legal protection and that the status of protected persons.
