dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of nurses' counseling abilities on the desire to use violence toward medical workers.Materials and methods: The population of the research consists of individuals over the age of 18 who received health services from any hospital in the last 1 year in Turkey. The sample was randomly selected. The survey method was preferred at the point of data collection. The questionnaires were delivered to the participants face-to-face.Results: A total of 1042 individuals were included in the present study. 63% were female and 37% were male. The average age was recorded as 26.9 years. Of them, 32% were married and 28% had low income. A negative correlation was found between the intention to use violence against healthcare professionals and the counseling skills of nurses (r=-0.118, p<0.01). Counseling skills of the nurses have a negative effect on the intention to inflict violence on healthcare workers (t=-3.832, p<0.01) and a positive effect on the attitude towards the behavior (t=4.228, p<0.01).Conclusions: Social initiatives should be used to reduce violence. There should be the development of intervention strategies for public hospitals and emergency services. Employees should be instructed to let the public know that there might be a wait while the examination is taking place. Violence should be addressed legally, and risk groups exposed to violence should be given priority in intervention strategies.en_US
