ÖZET
 Şiddet tüm dünyada giderek artan şekilde varlığını sürdüren, biyopsikososyal boyutu ile önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olmaya devam etmektedir. Şiddet hemen her yerde karşımıza çıkmakla birlikte sağlık alanında da sıkça görülmektedir. Son zamanlarda can yakıcı şekilde artarak gündemden düşmeyen sağlıkta şiddet, doktorların ve sağlık çalışanlarının beden ve ruh sağlığını önemli ölçüde ve olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Bu durum, iş performansı ve sağlık hizmeti kalitesinde ciddi düşüşlere neden olmaktadır. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü bu konuyu sadece doktorların ve sağlık çalışanlarının değil toplumun refahını doğrudan etkileyen, acil bir sağlık sorunu olarak değerlendirmiştir. Neredeyse dünyadaki tüm ülkeler sağlıkta şiddet konusunda mağdur olmaktadır. Türkiye de sağlıkta şiddettin sıkça meydana geldiği ülkelerden biri olmaya devam etmektedir. Ülkemizde sağlık alanında şiddetin özellikle son yıllarda ivmelenerek artması üzerine eleştiriler artmış ve yazılı, görsel basında kendine sıkça yer bulmuştur. Türk Ceza Kanunu'nda mevcut kanunlar üzerinden sağlıkta şiddet ile ilgili olaylar yargıya taşınmış olsa da caydırıcılık unsurunun yeterli düzeyde olmadığı gözlemlenmiştir. Dolayısıyla sağlık çalışanlarının sıklıkla maruz kaldığı şiddetin ortadan kaldırılması için yeni düzenlemeler yapılması gündeme gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada; sağlıkta şiddetin türleri, Türkiye'de ve diğer ülkelerdeki bu konuda yapılmış çalışmalardan elde edilen istatistiki veriler, ülkemizde bu konuyla ilgili mevcut ve yapılan yeni yasal düzenlemeler, sağlık çalışanlarının şiddet karşısında sahip olduğu haklar, şiddet mağdurunun süreci nasıl yönetmesi gerektiği ve şiddetin çözümü için öneriler ele alınmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Şiddet; sağlıkta şiddet; yasal düzenlemeler; sağlık personeli; şiddet yasası
ABSTRACT
 Violence continues to be an important public health problem with its biopsychosocial dimension, which continues to exist increasingly all over the world. Although violence is encountered almost everywhere, it is also frequently seen in the field of health. Violence in health, which has increased painfully recently and has not fallen off the agenda, has a significant and negative impact on the physical and mental health of doctors and health workers. This situation causes serious declines in performance of health care providers and health service quality. The World Health Organization has evaluated this issue as an urgent health problem that directly affects the welfare of doctors, health workers and society. Almost all countries in the world are victims of violence in health. Türkiye continues to be one of the countries where violence in health occurs frequently. Due to the rapid increase in violence in the field of health in our country, especially in recent years, criticism has increased and it has often found itself in the written and visual media. Although the events related to violence in health have been brought to the judiciary through the existing laws in the Turkish Penal Code, it has been observed that the deterrent factor is not at a sufficient level. Therefore, it has come to the fore to make new regulations in order to eliminate the violence that health workers are frequently exposed to. In this study types of violence in health, statistical data obtained from studies conducted in Türkiye and other countries on this subject, current and new legal regulations regarding this issue in our country, the rights of health workers against violence, how the victim of violence should manage the process and suggestions for solution against violence in health are mentioned.
