“Part of Our Work and Need to Deal with it”: <i>A thematic analysis of emergency department doctors’ and nurses’ experiences and attitudes towards workplace violence in Oman – A national study</i>

ED staff in Oman frequently encounter WPV, often perceiving it as inevitable. This normalisation is rooted in systemic factors such as understaffing, prolonged waiting times, communication barriers, and insufficient institutional support. Addressing WPV requires context-specific strategies including stricter policy enforcement, comprehensive staff training, and public education. These findings highlight the urgent need for initiatives to improve ED workplace safety and for further research to guide effective policy and practice reforms.
