Introduction: Violence is a public health problem that affects all sectors of activity. Several factors may cause its occurrence among bank workers. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with violence in the banking sector in Bobo-Dioulasso. Methods: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study that took place from 02/01/2024 to 20/12/2024 among workers of five banks in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with R software version 4.4.2. Results: A total of 170 workers were included in the study. The average age was 37.84 ± 8.29 years. The sex ratio was 1.24. The average job tenure was 6.38 ± 5.91 years and 104 (61.18%) worked more than 8 hours per day. Among the participants, 42 were victims of violence in the last 12 months, representing a prevalence of 24.71%, including 36 (21.18%) cases of exogenous violence. In multivariate analysis, a significant association was found between violence and on-call work. Conclusion: The prevalence of violence among bank workers in Bobo-Dioulasso is high. It is necessary to adopt a strategy to prevent this risk, particularly during on-call periods, in order to protect staff and increase productivity.
