Increasing violence in medical practices: demand for rapid action
increasing violence in medical practices: an alarming phenomenon
The increasing aggression in medical facilities, especially in medical practices, ensures concern among doctors and society. Andreas Gassen, the chairman of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV), commented in the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung" about the increased violence, which includes both verbal and physical attacks. This not only affects medical care, but also on the entire health system.
behavioral problems of patients
A remarkable influence of increasing aggression is the changed perception of patients regarding their intellectual treatment. Allows reports of cases in which patients appear excessively demanding without understanding the processes in a practice. "I already had a patient who broke a door," said Gassen. This shows that this is not individual cases, but is a growing social problem.
the social pressure on the health system
The pressure on health personnel also grows through the accompaniment of several people to doctor's appointments. Patients often bring several companions with them, which can lead to a tense Situation. Allesuit this describes as "extremely uncomfortable". The situation is further tightened by the expectations of the accompanying persons, who often express their opinion loudly. In many cases, this behavior leads to an escalation of the situation.
urgent appeal to politics
In view of the escalating situation, alleys demands a consistent reaction from politics. He demands that the intended tightening of criminal law to protect rescue workers will also be extended to medical practices. "In such cases, it needs significant and quick punishments. Otherwise the message will not arrive in some people," said Gassen. He sees the need that practices also have the right to defend themselves against attacking behavior.protection and security in healthcare
The debate about violence in medical practices is more than just one topic for medical staff; It affects all of society. The health systems are dependent on the cooperation of patients and their understanding to ensure effective care. With persistent aggression and disrespect, this becomes increasingly difficult. It is therefore necessary to promote respect for respectful use of medical facilities and at the same time to improve the framework conditions for doctors.
The situation requires a collective effort to ensure security and well -being both health personnel and the patient. Only through a dialogue about behavioral standards and possible legal changes can a way out of this crisis can be found.
