An assault on health professionals in the workplace is a public health and legal problem. Violence against nurses is a silent epidemic. Until relatively recently, little attention had been paid to this problem. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to assess the pattern & impact of workplace violence and misconduct on nurses and to seek out the association between selected demographic variables and impact of workplace violence and misconduct on nurses. Materials and Methods: Quantitative research approach with non-experimental exploratory survey design was selected for the present study. The sampling technique chosen was purposive sampling technique for a sample size of 60 nurses who fulfilled the criteria through structured questionnaire. The sample chosen was nurses from General hospitals of Hyderabad. The tool consisted of Part A demographic profile with 10 variables. Part B consisted a three-point Likert Scale to assess the pattern of workplace violence. Part C consisted of a three-point Likert Scale to assess the impact of workplace violence and misconduct. Part D consisted of a Checklist to assess the Pattern of misconduct on nurses. We analysed the scores using descriptive and inferential analysis. Association between them was performed using Pearson correlation. Statistical significance was taken to be p < 0.05. Results: The study results revealed that majority of the nurses were under the age group of 21-30 years and most of them were females, also they had 2-3 years of work experience followed by larger portion of them pursued Post Basic BSc nursing and surprisingly study subjects reported that they have been suffered from workplace violence from colleagues and patient’s attenders. The study subjects have undergone workplace violence and misconduct at workplace such as bullying (100%), physical (28.3%), verbal (100%) and sexual violence (50%) followed by official (100%) and sexual misconduct (55%). The study subjects also revealed that major proportion of the nurses experienced bullying, verbal violence, sexual violence and physical violence under the pattern of workplace violence and suffered from mild, moderate and severe impact due to workplace violence.
