Purpose The rising rate of violence and abuse in health care centers has become a major problem for nurses. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to explore the prevalence of assaults during nurses’ careers in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Methods Self-report questionnaires were filled out by 1,317 nurses. Results Verbal abuse was experienced by 87.4% of the population during a 6-month period, and physical violence by 27.6% during the same period of time. No physical harm was reported in 66.4% of cases. Only 35.9% cases of verbal abuse and 49.9% cases of physical violence were actually reported. The majority of cases reported that abuse was followed by either inaction or by actions which failed to satisfy the victim. According to the findings, men were exposed to more abuse than women, and the risk of experiencing abuse was higher in nurses with more job experience or who worked more hours. Also, nurses who are responsible for first aid were subjected to more abuse than those in other positions. Conclusion The findings showed a noticeable trend of a rising number of assaults against nurses. The findings of this study may help hospital staff and nurses to avoid, reduce and control violence and abuse.

Objectives: This cross-sectional study, conducted as part of the Bushehr Elderly Health program stage II in Bushehr, Iran, aimed to evaluate health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in individuals aged ≥ 60 with osteosarcopenia, a condition characterized by the co-occurrence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Given the increasing elderly population worldwide, understanding the HR-QoL of this demographic is crucial, with osteosarcopenia being a significant factor. Methods: The study enrolled 2369 participants aged ≥ 60 and collected demographic and anthropometric data. Various questionnaires, including the Short Form 12, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Activities of Daily Living, and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, were administered. Comparisons were made between individuals with and without osteosarcopenia. Regression models were employed to identify variables associated with HRQoL in those with osteosarcopenia. Results: Key findings revealed that 22.5% of participants had osteosarcopenia. Significantly different HR-QoL measures were observed between the 2 groups, especially in physical functioning and physical component summary scores. Male gender, advanced age, and chronic illnesses were linked to lower physical and mental HRQoL scores among those with osteosarcopenia. In female participants, a history of fractures and physical disability were associated with reduced quality of life. Conclusions: This study underscores the negative impact of osteosarcopenia on HR-QoL, particularly in male participants, with a focus on physical aspects. It also highlights age and chronic disease as contributing factors to diminished HR-QoL in individuals with osteosarcopenia. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing osteosarcopenia in the elderly population to improve their overall well-being.
