International audience. Violence at work is a social problem at internationally level andaccording to the WHO (2002) is a global challenge. In the health and medico-socialsector, there are more and more strongly political, institutional and professionalpreoccupations. This is the case in France and Romania. However, the figures thatcover this phenomenon in each of these two countries are they identical? Thus acomparison we envision. The purpose of this communication is to lay the theoreticaland methodological framework of the comparison, stating the segments studied,after identifying possible national peculiarities in the way of understanding theviolence in the health and medico-social sector. To avoid falling into the trap ofethnocentrism, we choose to build a definition of violence from we start, not predefinedcategories, but the experience of the individual, in this case, healthcareworkers, which will be the focus of this comparative research. The thesis will betested as follows: the experience of violence for health professionals is related to thespecificities of the organization (which requires social work reports) and the servicerelationship (which leads to analyze relations between users and professionals)whose transformations are specific to each national context. To understand theexperience of healthcare workers and in coherence with the epistemologicalapproach taken, we shall realize a victimization survey asking respondents what theyare experiencing as violence in the exercise of their profession. Violence will beanalyzed, not in a decontextualized manner of pre-defined categories, but from thequalifications made by the respondents. The data analysis will us allow tocharacterize the figures of violence in each of these national contexts and identify, ifany, social regularities similar in both countries.
