Amaç: Sağlık çalışanlarına yönelik şiddet, dünya çapında yaygın ve endişe verici bir olgu olarak tanımlanmakta ve önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada, dahili ve cerrahi kliniklerde yatan hastaların, hemşirelere yönelik şiddete ilişkin görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türdeki araştırmanın örneklemini, bir devlet hastanesinin dahili ve cerrahi kliniklerinde yatmakta olan 373 hasta oluşturmuştur. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan anket formu ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, sayı ve yüzde hesaplamaları kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmamıza katılan hastaların yaş ortalaması 52,09±18,59'dur. Hastaların %8,0'ı, hastanede yattığı süre içinde kendisine bakım veren hemşirelerden biriyle sorun yaşamıştır. Hemşirelerle yaşanan bir sorunu çözmede, hastaların %1,3'ü fiziksel şiddetin, %4,3'ü sözel şiddetin ve %3,2'si psikolojik şiddetin bir çözüm yolu olarak kullanılabileceğini ifade etmişlerdir. Hastaların, hemşirelerin iyi iletişim kuramaması (%43,3), tecrübesiz olmaları (%23,4), hastaların sordukları soruları yanıtlamamaları (%23,4), çağırdıklarında hemen gelmemeleri (%26,6) ve hastaların öfkelerini kontrol etmede sorun yaşamaları (%30,0) sebebiyle sorun yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Hastaların, hemşirelere yönelik en çok sözel/psikolojik şiddete başvurdukları, şiddetin ortaya çıkmasında etkisiz hemşire iletişimi ile hastanın öfke kontrol probleminin etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.
