VIOLENCE IN THE NURSING WORKPLACE: AN INTERSECTIONAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The objective of this study was to characterize internal violence at work with nurses in the health environment as a phenomenon arising from intersectionality in several countries. As a method, a systematic review of the literature was used, using the PRISMA protocol. The descriptors were: "violence at work" and "nurses" or "intersectionality". The inclusion criteria were adhered to: references published in the last 5 (five) years in scientific journals, related to the research objectives, and excluded theses, dissertations, systematic, narrative and integrative reviews, as well as references that, even describing interventions with violence at work, do not address the intersectionality with the female gender as mediators in the abstract of the researched articles. When applying the eligibility criteria, the analysis resulted in a volume of 93 (three) works. The theoretical findings were presented within three categories, 1) Intersectionality (gender) thinking about the nursing professional and the female sex), 2) types of violence, 3) Internal violence thinking about violence among the work team. It was found that there was a need to develop training to avoid such violence.
