- Abstract
Objective: To present a reflection on the forms of violence in health care settings and on preventive actions. Method: This is a theoretical reflection about the phenomenon of violence and its possible coping actions. Results: Nurses and other professionals working in health care environments may experience situations of aggression and disrespect through institutional or managerial violence, horizontal violence and patient violence. Final considerations: Violent practices are not applicable in any workplace, especially in care settings. Actions or measures of control should be taken in pursuit of healthier environments and in harmony with the culture of peace.
