Nurses and Violence in the Workplace

Workplace abuse and violence in health care settings, particularly against nurses, is increasingly recognized as a problem of epidemic proportions, with negative implications for nurses’ job satisfaction and ability to provide care effectively. This study included a review of incident reports, interviews with nurses and the development of a DVD on workplace violence that demonstrates techniques for de-escalating potentially violent situations.
Research supported with funds from WorkSafe BC (Workers' Compensation Board of British Columbia) and the Saskatchewan Workers' Compensation Board
