Summary: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and determinants of workplace violence (WPV) among nurses in the South-East Asian Region and Western Pacific Regions through systematic review and meta-analysis. The results showed that nurses experience a high level of WPV, especially verbal abuse, in their workplace settings. Measures to prevent and manage WPV, including legislation changes and organisational commitment, are essential for ensuring effective policies and occupational safety for nurses.

Summary: This study aimed to review the current evidence for interventions targeting mental health related stigma in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The results showed that there are a considerable number of studies suggesting that these interventions can reduce stigmatization against depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems. Although there were no specific studies focusing on SMEs, it is believed that these interventions may also work in smaller workplaces.
