Crisis Management In Algerian Healthcare System In The Face Of Violence: A Socio-economic Analysis

Authors : Hamaizia Lamia . Aissaoui Nasreddine .

Abstract

This document attempts to analyze the causes that contribute to violence in Algerian health care settings. In fact, many factors contribute to escalating levels of violence, so we will follow: sometimes the classic factors that come from patients or family members; sometimes by exploiting hidden causes specific to the health system itself, due to a virtual absence of real crisis management. This article highlights the growth of national and international scientific research on the causes that generate the phenomenon of violence, as well as the solutions that can improve the quality of health care facilities. Through an analysis of the Algerian context, this article proposes a socio-economic analysis for the organizational obstacles that can generate gratuitous violence, which can constitute future empirical studies. The results of the study clearly indicate that the behaviour of the care-seeker is the tip of the iceberg, while the causes of this scourge are due to a poorly organized health system. .
