Background: Gender-based violence (GBV) in healthcare workplaces remains a critical public health challenge, exacerbated by power imbalances and cultural norms that silence victims. In Northeast Nigeria, empirical data on workplace GBV are scarce, hindering targeted interventions. This study investigated the prevalence, types, perpetrators, reporting patterns, and psychosocial impacts of GBV at Federal Teaching Hospital Gombe (FTHG). Objectives: The study aimed to: (1) determine GBV prevalence, (2) identify demographic and occupational risk factors, (3) characterize perpetrators, (4) assess reporting barriers, and (5) evaluate psychological and professional consequences. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 337 staff. Data were collected via a validated proforma and analyzed descriptively (frequencies, percentages) and inferentially (chi-square) using SPSS. Ethical approvals and informed consent were obtained.
