ABSTRACT: A
questionnaire was distributed amongst staff to determine the existence and
extent of harassment in the studied hospital. Harassment wasn’t recognized as a
problem by 45.8% of hospital staff. However, participants felt harassment was a
serious issue. It is therefore recommended that substantial actions be taken to
reduce harassment. A transparent, widely known, valid, readily accessible, and
effective system for complaints is needed.
