摘要

Aggression and violence in the workplace is an act or threat of violence ranging from verbal abuse to physical assaults against individuals employed or on duty(CDC,2019).It is considered a global public health issue faced by staff across different sectors,including the healthcare sector.Based on many studies,Oman recorded a high level of workplace violence against nurses among all Gulf Cooperation Council countries[1-3].Al Maskari,et al.(2020)found that throughout Oman,violence in the workplace is highly prevalent among nurses in the emergency department[4].The goal of the current policy is to highlight the value of implementing such a policy.
