Description
Summary:Abstract Background Hospital workplace violence (WPV) is a serious obstacle to the sustainable development of global health care, Therefore, it is necessary to adjust and optimize the current WPV prevention and control policies (WPVPCPs), and policy evaluation is the first prerequisite of this link. However, there is little literature on WPVPCPs. The aim of our study is to quantitatively evaluate the China’s WPVPCPs, and provide empirical evidence for the formulation, adjustment and optimization of relevant policies. Methods On the basis of the PMC index model, text mining technology was used to construct a WPVPCPs evaluation system. Overall, 37 WPVPCPs published in China were quantitatively evaluated, and representative policies were selected to draw PMC-Surface chart. Results Among 37 WPVPCPs, 1 was excellent, 27 were good and 9 were acceptable. The average PMC index was 6.43. Conclusions The overall quality of WPVPCPs is high, but there is still room for improvement. Specifically, the overall score of primary variables such as policy perspective and policy level is low, and the score of secondary variables of policy nature, policy object, policy tool and policy prescription is unbalanced. These aspects may be the entry point for effective improvement of WPV, so they should be taken seriously in the development and optimization of relevant policies in the future.
