Being doctor or nurse make any difference to be a victim(p=0,349).Violence is statistically associated with age and working years (p=0,24; p=0,002).

And when suspicion and victims deny; 55(51,9%) says that they only give some numbers to call and want help. There is no association between being a victim of violence and knowing what to do to help victim (r=0,104, p=0,291).
