Workplace violence in obstetrics is more common than many healthcare organizations
realize.

Securitas Healthcare’s 2026 Workplace Violence in Obstetrics report found that 81% of
obstetrics nursing professionals experience violence multiple times each year in patient rooms, hallways, during transport, and even in staff break areas.

Despite these risks, fewer than 22% of facilities provide portable panic buttons, leaving many nurses without immediate access to help when they’re away from a nursing station.

Download the whitepaper to explore key findings, emerging trends, and strategies to
better protect OB teams while supporting a safer care environment.
