%X Work Place Violence (WPV) refers to the deliberate application of psychological or physical force aimed at harming, threatening, or intimidating individuals within a professional setting. It encompasses a wide range of behaviors such as threats, bullying, assaults, or other aggressive actions that disrupt the workplace. This systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and EBSCO, focusing on randomized controlled trials, observational, and experimental research exploring violence against healthcare practitioners in pediatric departments. A total of six randomized studies addressing workplace violence directed at pediatric staff were analyzed. Pediatric physicians and nurses frequently encounter various forms of aggression from parents or caregivers of pediatric patients, often driven by the emotional strain associated with the child’s health status. Clear recommendations should be established to train pediatric staff in managing violent incidents and in properly reporting such occurrences.
