Violence against health workers durıng the COVID-19 pandemic in Kosovo: A cross-sectional study

This study indicates that healthcare workers in Kosova are experiencing violence due to COVID-19 pandemics. Given the key role of health care professionals during management of COVID-19 pandemics, interventions to address violence against health workers to the needs of Kosova healthcare professionals presents itself as an immediate need. The wellbeing of healthcare workers has been adversely affected not only by the evolving dynamics in doctor-patient relationships but also by the overall environment of insecurity. It is imperative to denounce all forms of violence, and both healthcare workers and decision-makers must collaboratively and systematically address the issue of violence.
