Abstract

Purpose: to propose an approach to the concept of workplace violence from the nursing perspective.
Methods: a literature review was carried out in databases MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL complete and Education Resources Information, using the descriptors: "aggression", "abuse", "violence", "occupational" "nursing", and "concept analysis", in Spanish and English. Eleven articles were retrieved that met the inclusion criteria. The papers were read in their entirety and two articles were excluded because they were related to other topics; thus, nine manuscripts were finally retained for analysis.
Results: the concepts, attributes, and background of workplace violence were identified, which made it possible to generate a proposal for a theoretical definition of workplace violence from a nursing perspective.
Conclusion: it is concluded that violence is a complex phenomenon, which has characteristics and predisposing factors that are necessary for violence to occur. Its impact extends beyond the person, and affects other areas such as the family and work. Delimiting the concept of violence benefits practice, research, philosophy, and nursing education. Therefore, it is expected that, with this proposal, the nursing profession will improve its understanding of the phenomenon of violence in the work environment, emphasizing health promotion for workers, and contributing to healthy work environments. Finally, it is pointed out that this theoretical-discipline proposal can be a contribution to the theoretical-conceptual strengthening of future research.
