Workplace sexual harassment and suicide ideation in female nurses: multiplying effects of social stigma and job insecurity

Female nurses in private hospitals face substantial risk of sexual harassment and consequential psychological harm, including suicidal ideation. Interventions should integrate rigorous anti-harassment enforcement, protected and confidential reporting, stigma-reduction initiatives, accessible mental-health services, and job-security safeguards. Addressing stigma and precarious employment is essential to mitigating harm and protecting nurses' well-being.
