Abstract:
To understand the prevalence of workplace violence of the state-owned hospitals and private hospitals and to compare the characteristics of them in Tangshan city. Cluster sampling method were used to investigate the three state-owned hospitals and five private hospitals， medical staff who suffer violence in the workplace from April 2008 to April 2009 in Tangshan city. The incidence rate of workplace violence in state-owned hospitals(62.98%) was higher than private hospitals（13.55％）. The type of the violence is mainly psychological violence both in state-owned hospitals and private hospitals. And state-owned hospitals’ incidence of psychological violence (46.48％) was higher than private hospitals（13.55％）. Both state-owned hospitals and private hospitals， the violence mainly occurred during daytime hours. Violence of state-owned hospital most occurred in wards（47.92%）， while private hospitals most occurred in medical rooms（32.35%）. The most important reasons for workplace violence in State-owned hospitals and private hospitals were the perpetrators of alcohol (42.81%) and patients without improvement or self-opinion that there is no improvement（57.35％）, respectively. Private Hospitals’ incidence of workplace violence is lower than the state-owned hospitals’ in Tangshan city， According to the characteristics of various hospitals， we should implement interventions to reduce the incidence of violence in the hospital.

Abstract:
ObjectiveThe purposes of this study were to evaluate the rate of workplace violence in county hospitals in China and its impact on healthcare workers and to explore the relationship between hospital violence, coping styles and anxiety to provide effective procedures for reducing anxiety among healthcare workers.MethodsThe study used stratified sampling to select 1200 healthcare workers from 30 county hospitals in China to conduct a questionnaire survey. Of these, 1030 were valid questionnaires, and the effective response rate was 85.83%. We collected demographic characteristics of our participants and administered the following scales to them: Workplace Violence, Trait Coping Style, Self-rating Anxiety. Data were statistically analysed.ResultsThe results showed that 67.28% of healthcare workers in county hospitals in China had experienced workplace violence in the previous 12 months, with prevalent verbal violence (66.12%) followed by physical violence (15.24%). Workplace violence in hospitals was negatively related to positive coping (r=−0.091, p<0.01) but positively related to negative coping (r=0.114, p<0.001) and anxiety (r=0.298, p<0.001). Positive and negative coping was negatively (r=−0.085, p<0.01) and positively (r=0.254, p<0.001) associated with anxiety respectively. Positive and negative coping influenced both hospital workplace violence and anxiety in healthcare workers who were victims of violence. Compared with positive coping, the mediating effect of negative coping was stronger (95% CI −0.177 to –0.006).ConclusionsThe incidence of workplace violence among healthcare workers in county-level hospitals in China is relatively high, and there is a correlation between hospital violence, coping styles and anxiety. Positive and negative coping play a mediating role in the impact of hospital violence on healthcare workers’ anxiety. Therefore, hospital administrators should actively promote healthcare workers’ transition to positive coping strategies and minimise the negative impact of anxiety on them.

Abstract:
One of the important occupational health problems is violence. Violence is more prevalent among physicians and nurses in psychiatric and emergency departments in Jordan public hospitals. Causes of this phenomenon are associated with different causatives such as hospitals facilities (including beds, medication, oxygen… etc.), hospital staff, ministry of health and patients with their families. In this work violence on physicians and nurses in Jordan hospitals is analyzed based on the causes of violence. Solutions are searched upon the causatives of these actions not only on education, training and toughening punishment. Results of this work showed that 58.3 % of violence is due to hospital facilities and staff, 25% government actions and 17.7 % due to patients and their families. This work suggests investing more in healthcare institutions, provide more skilled staff, introduce a management procedure following incidents, preventive policies and improving health institutional facilities by applying programs for medicine inventory control, human factors and management techniques.

Abstract. Violence within inpatient forensic hospitals is a significant and enduring problem that leads to harm to staff and patients and causes significant expenditures. This paper provides comprehensive recommendations for developing and implementing violence reduction strategies within forensic settings that are predicated on appropriate evaluation for violence risk. This paper posits that proper strategies must take into account subtypes of violence and classifying risk with systematic and continuous evaluations. Treatment interventions should be geared to patients most at-risk for violence. By recognizing the dynamic nature of violence, hospital administrators can work closely with institution staff to provide support for improving the environment of forensic hospitals. By employing empirically based treatment interventions on both acute and long-term units, forensic hospitals can provide a safer environment.

Abstract:
Physical violence is a frequent occurrence in acute community psychiatry units worldwide. Violent acts by patients cause many direct injuries and significantly degrade quality of care. The most accurate tools for predicting near-term violence on acute units rely on current clinical features rather than demographic risk factors. The efficacy of risk assessment strategies to lower incidence of violence on acute units is unknown. A range of behavioral and psychopharmacologic treatments have been shown to reduce violence among psychiatric inpatients.

Abstract:
Violence at work is becoming an alarming phenomenon worldwide affecting the millions of health care workers. This study was conducted to assess the violence towards Resident doctors in Indian teaching hospitals. Google forms questionnaire was developed and circulated electronically to resident doctors working in India. Data were collected and managed using the Google forms electronic tool. Vast majority (86%) of respondents reported having experienced violence with no difference among two genders. Prevalence of violence was maximum (35.5%) in general surgery. Verbal threat and abuse was the commonest (∼94%) form of violence. Mostly these acts of violence happened in Emergency/Trauma room. The most common reasons for violence in hospital were patient's death. Over 94% residents accepted that they had never received any training to deal with work place violence. Majority (80%) of the respondents favoured better communication, strict Laws and strengthening of security measures in hospital to prevent WPV. Workplace violence prevention should be addressed aggressively and comprehensively in health care. A workplace violence prevention program should be a required component of all health care organizations.

Abstract:
This thesis is a sociological exploration of violence at work. It is concerned with examining doctors, nurses' and teachers' experiences of violence at work in the institutional setting of schools and hospitals. It argues that media representations of this phenomenon, while having been helpful in raising awareness of violent incidents towards staff as mainly inter-personal and neglecting the institutional context of violence, have been unhelpful in extending knowledge and understanding. Thus it is argued that there are significant gaps in understanding of the nature and extent of violence in these contexts. The thesis aims to extend the current theoretical and empirical understanding of violence at work through the perceptions and experiences of these institutional actors and to examine how the institutional setting - physically and structurally - affects them in their professional roles in public sector schools and hospitals. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered from two local authority areas in west central Scotland. Bourdieu's concepts of field, habitus and capital are used to examine the complex inter-relations of institutions, institutionalism and professional/client interactions that create a particular set of conditions which are challenged through the use of violence. 'Fields' represent the political and organisational structure of public sector health and education services whilst the 'habitus' forms the site of delivery for these services and the particular institutional cultural dispositions associated with them. The concept of 'capital' is used to examine the inter-personnel relationships, and the inter-personal relationships between client groups, in the work habitus. It concludes that the need for an integrated approach to understanding violence in the context of institutions is crucial if effective interventions are to be made and appropriate policies developed.

Abstract:
This PhD thesis compared incidents of violence in two Malaysian hospitals and two English hospitals. Using a model of workplace violence, the aims of the thesis were to explore and compare six constructs: extrinsic, intrinsic, triggers, experiences, moderators, and consequences of workplace violence as perceived by Malaysian and English hospital staff. This study used data on experiences of violence gathered in 2005 for incidences in hospitals that occurred up to one year before the survey. The 2004 data from the Incident Report database (IRD) of the English hospitals was also used. Two instruments were developed for this thesis. First was the General Violence Victimization Questionnaire (GVQ), an instrument to identify the types, prevalence, nature, consequences, post-incident support, and reporting trends of violence in hospitals. The second instrument was the Violence Victimization Semi-structured Interview (VicQ) which explored factors leading to the violent incident, the violent incident itself, and psycho-social issues relating to the violent incident. Both instruments were translated into the Malay language for use in Malaysia. 227 people participated in the quantitative survey: 162 people from the Malaysian Government Hospitals (MGH) and 115 people from the National Health Service (NHS). A total of 25 people volunteered to be interviewed as part of the qualitative aspect of the study: 15 from the MGH and 10 from the NHS. Six categories of violence were compared: verbal, nonverbal, threat, physical, sexual, and psychologically-based. A total of 4118 violent incidents (1402 in MGH and 2716 in NHS) were reported. The most common type of violence was psychologically-based violence in the MGH and verbal violence in the NHS. Both samples perceived that the major source of workplace violence was from patients and involved one male perpetrator. There were differences between the two samples indicative of cultural differences. Of those interviewed, the Malaysian participants perceived that offenders were intrinsically motivated to offend. The English participants perceived that offenders had either intrinsic or extrinsic motivation for perpetuating violence. Differences were noted for substance abuse and customer relations as triggers of organisational violence. Comparisons of moderators were different for the two country samples. Comparisons of consequences were not significantly different. Comparisons across several demographic variables (gender, age, and occupational groupings) were not significant between the two country samples with regards to workplace violence victimisation. However, a comparison of length of service was found to be significant. The final path model differed from the original model of workplace violence. Additional findings include a difference between the established definition and participants‘ definition of workplace violence, a lack of anti-violence policies in Malaysian hospitals, under reporting, and unforeseen direct and direct relationships among the six constructs.

Abstract:
"Our society has generally viewed women as less aggressive and less likely to commit acts of violence in comparison to men. Statistics show that only 13 per cent of the violent crimes in the United States have been committed by women (Steffensmeier and Allan, 1996). However, employees at psychiatric hospitals often report problems of increased violent behavior among their female inpatients. This perception of the female inpatient population is further complicated by the mixed research findings regarding gender and violence. Considering the possible other environmental causations, gender alone should not prove an accurate variable in addressing violent behavior. Variables such as age, location, time, ethnicity, institutionalization and violence to self as opposed to violence to others will likely show significant relevance. This study will attempt to demonstrate how these other biopsychosocial variables play a role in violence prediction for this group of forensically committed patients other than gender."

Thesis (MCur (Interdisciplinary Health Sciences. Nursing Science))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Workplace violence in health care is a worldwide phenomenon. In nursing, the nature of workplace violence is predominantly non-physical in nature. Literature reveals the devastating consequences for the individual nurse, both physically and / or emotionally, depending on the nature of the violence. The consequences for the organisation / institution and the profession are equally devastating, manifesting in reduced standards of patient care and increased attrition from the profession. The pervasiveness of this problem indicates that to date, remedial and protective measures have been unsuccessful. However, most of the research done on workplace violence in nursing has been conducted amongst qualified nurses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent of workplace violence, targeting student nurses in clinical areas. The setting was the Western Cape College of Nursing and the population was second, third and fourth-year, pre-registration students. The research objectives addressed various aspects, for example, type, prevalence, perpetrators, consequences and management of workplace violence. A quantitative research design, utilising a survey, was chosen for the study. A probability sample of n = 255 students was selected, using stratified, random sampling as the sampling method. The variables selected for stratification were gender and year of study. A self reported, anonymous questionnaire, guided by the literature review and by the research objectives, was utilised for data generation. Summary statistics were used to describe the variables, whilst distributions of variables were presented in the form of histograms and frequency tables. Where appropriate, the relationships between demographic and research variables were described, using suitable statistical analyses. The findings revealed that the perpetration of non-physical violence against student nurses is widespread, particularly that perpetrated by co-workers, more specifically registered, staff- and assistant nurses. The under reporting of workplace violence was a common finding. Student nurses suffer grave emotional consequences as a result of workplace violence. Almost half of the respondents admitted that they had considered leaving nursing due to workplace violence and that it had negatively affected their standard of patient care. The overall conclusion was that, in accordance with a worldwide trend amongst all categories of nurses, student nurses are targets of workplace violence in the clinical areas. These findings have particular implications for the management of nursing education institutions. The fact that student nurses are targeted to the extent revealed in this study indicates that existing preventive measures in the clinical areas have not been effective. The recommendations arising from this study therefore focus on equipping the vulnerable trainee with the tools to withstand workplace violence. As such, the recommendations are directed at the management of the nursing education institution, to create awareness around the problem, to empower students to confront and cope with workplace violence and to support students traumatised by workplace violence. Finally, this study suggests avenues for further research, for example, research in the same setting after implementation of the recommendations, or further research into the dynamics of workplace violence, targeting student nurses from the perspective of qualified nursing staff or patients.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Geweld in die gesondheidsdienste werksplek is ‘n wêreldwye verskynsel. In verpleging is geweld in die werksplek oorwegend nie-fisies van aard. Die literatuur wys op die ingrypende fisiese en / of emosionele gevolge vir die individuele verpleegkundige, afhangend van die aard van die geweld. Die gevolge vir die organisasie of instelling, asook vir die verpleegberoep, is eweneens ingrypend en manifesteer in verlaagde standaarde in pasiëntsorg en ‘n toename in verpleegkundiges wat die beroep verlaat. Die algemene verskynsel van die problem dui aan dat regstellende en beskermende maatreëls tot dusver onsuksesvol was. Die meeste navorsing oor geweld in verpleging is egter tot dusver onder gekwalifiseerde verpleegkundiges gedoen. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die omvang van werksplek-geweld, met studenteverpleegkundiges as teikengroep, in die kliniese areas na te vors. Die studie is by die Wes-Kaap Kollege van Verpleging uitgevoer en die populasie was al die tweede, derde en vierde-jaar, voor-registrasie studente. Die geformuleerde navorsingsdoelwitte vir die studie het verskeie aspekte aangespreek, soos byvoorbeeld, tipe, frekwensie, die uitvoerders van geweld, gevolge en die hantering van werksplek-geweld. ‘n Kwantitatiewe navorsingsontwerp, met gebruikmaking van ’n opname, is vir die studie geselekteer. ‘n Waarskynlikheidsteekproef van n = 255 studente is deur middel van gestratifiseerde, ewekansige steekproefneming geselekteer. Geslag en jaar van studie was as die veranderlikes vir stratifikasie gekies. Die instrument vir data-insameling was ‘n self-voltooide vraelys, gebaseer op die literatuurstudie en gerig deur die navorsingsdoelwitte. Opsommende statistieke is aangewend om die veranderlikes te beskryf, terwyl die verspreidings van veranderlikes in die vorm van histogramme of frekwensie-tabelle aangebied is. Waar toepaslik, is die verhoudings tussen demografiese en navorsingsveranderlikes met behulp van toepaslike statistiese analises beskryf. Die bevindinge het onthul dat die pleeg van nie-fisiese geweld teenoor studenteverpleegkundiges algemeen voorkom, veral daardie deur mede-personeel, meer spesifiek geregistreerde, staf– en assistent verpleegundiges. Die onderrapportering van werksplek-geweld was ‘n algemene bevinding. Studenteverpleegkundiges ly aan erge emosionele gevolge, as gevolg van werksplek-geweld. Byna die helfte van die respondente het erken dat hulle oorweeg het om die beroep te verlaat en dat sodanige geweld hul standaard van pasiëntsorg negatief beinvloed het. Die oorkoepelende gevolgtrekking was dat studenteverpleegkundiges, in ooreenstemming met ‘n wêreldwye neiging onder alle kategorieë van verpleegkundiges, die teiken van werksplek-geweld in die kliniese areas is. Hierdie bevindinge hou spesifieke implikasies vir die bestuur van verpleegonderriginrigtings in. Die feit dat studenteverpleegkundiges tot die mate, soos in die studie onthul, geteiken word, het aangetoon dat bestaande voorkomende maatreëls in die kliniese areas oneffektief is. Die voorstelle vanuit hierdie studie is dus daarop gerig om die ontvanklike nuweling toe te rus om werksplek-geweld teë te staan. As sulks is die voorstelle gemik op die bestuur van die verpleegonderrig-inrigting, om bewustheid rondom die probleem te skep, om studente te bemagtig om geweld te konfronteer en te hanteer, en om studente, wat as gevolg van werksplek-geweld getraumatiseer is, te ondersteun. Laastens word moontlikhede vir verdere navorsing voorgestel, soos byvoorbeeld, navorsing in dieselfde omgewing na die implementering van die voorstelle, of verdere navorsing in die dinamika van werksplek-geweld teenoor studenteverpleegkundiges, vanuit die perspektief van gekwalifiseerde verpleegpersoneel of pasiënte.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to test research instruments to measure social and therapeutic rules, role incompetence and violence in hospitalized psychiatric patients. Instruments were tested to measure the specific concepts of: the Discrepant Interpretation of the Therapeutic Rules (GTRS and PTRSI), the Inconsistent Enforcement of the Social Rules (SRSI), the patients' Inability to Adhere to the Therapeutic Rules (PTRSII), the patients' Inability to Adhere to the Social Rules (SRSII) and Violence (VS). The study used a descriptive correlational design. The nursing staff sample consisted of 57 nursing staff working in nine clinical psychiatric units of four local hospitals. The nursing staff sample completed research ratings on 162 patient subjects hospitalized on the units. The data were analyzed for estimations of the psychometric properties of the research instruments. The theory was estimated using correlational and multiple regression techniques. The results indicated that with the exception of the General Therapeutic Rule Scale, the instruments had strong evidence of reliability and validity. The General Therapeutic Rule Scale had limited evidence of reliability and validity. The theoretical model testing indicated that three of the predicted theoretical relationships were supported. The expanded empirical model testing indicated three additional relationships. The amount of variance in violence explained by the expanded empirical model was R² = 18%. The major findings of this study were: (a) the social rules were more important than the therapeutic rules in predicting violence, (b) contrary to the literature, personal patient variables such as, age, sex, and diagnosis did not contribute to violence in the hospital setting, (c) a patient history of violence outside the hospital contributed to the patients' inability to adhere to the rules, (d) a direct relationship existed between the therapeutic and social rules, (e) the subdimensions of violence against self, others and property may be theoretically distinct dimensions of violence, and (f) the relationship of violence and other variables may be curvilinear.

Abstract:
"Ideally, all individuals should be involved in the sustainable development goals attainment. Even though frequently ignored, Psychology can have a considerable impact in this context. Psychology students can also make an important contribution as such. Additionally, an area in desperate need of attention, even before the hardships related to the COVID-19 pandemic, is violence prevention in healthcare settings. Consequently, the aim of this study is to present the rationale, process and results of a project on violence prevention in hospitals undertaken by Psychology undergraduates. The 61 students enrolled in a 3rd-year compulsory course enthusiastically accepted the challenge to develop a brief training session for violence prevention in a hospital setting as part of their grading system. The theme and the possibility to develop a training session were proposed and not imposed. A total of 22 work groups were formed: 4 decided to focus on patients, 4 on nurses, 3 on mental health professionals/psychiatrists, 2 on psychologists, 2 on obstetrics/gynecology; almost all of the remaining groups chose health professionals in general. Only 4 groups decided to take the challenge one step further and direct their training for outside of the class, via Zoom. The sessions were scheduled to begin on the 7th December 2021. Among the sub-themes chosen by the groups (with no constraints from the teacher), there is: burnout (3 groups), psychological well-being, depression, communication, resilience, and optimism. Globally, the groups were keen on complementing the psycho educational component with a skills training approach. Consequently, during undergraduates’ skills training, students can become more aware of the sustainable development goals and experience simple ways they can contribute to them (e.g., Goals 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 17)."

"DUAL PATHOLOGY AND CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR IN PATIENTS CONSIDERED NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY. A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY." In 23° Congreso de la Sociedad Española de Patología Dual (SEPD) 2021. SEPD, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.17579/sepd2021p124s.

Abstract:
Objectives Previous studies have reported that substance misuse (including alcohol) was the strongest risk factor for violence among psychiatric diagnoses, and absolute rates of violence perpetration of over 10% in substance misuse have been found, meaning that it is an important adverse outcome for clinicians to consider. However, very few studies exist about differences in individuals considered not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) with only a primary psychiatric diagnosis and those with dual pathology. This study aims to compare these two groups regarding criminal history and violence. Material and Methods We analyzed a sample of 44 inpatients committed under security measure in the Forensic Psychiatry Regional Department of Lisbon’s Psychiatric Hospital Centre, after being deemed NGRI and dangerous. Data regarding previous history of substance use, psychiatric disorder and criminal history was retrospectively collected. Results and conclusions Unlike what is described in literature for other groups, in our sample of NGRI patients, dual pathology was significantly associated to having no previous violent behavior; furthermore, regarding the offense for which they were considered NGRI, patients with dual pathology were not more likely to have committed a violent crime when compared with patients with only a primary diagnosis. This may be explained because the primary illness (and not other psychosocial factors or substance misuse) was considered the primary reason for having committed the offense, and many patients were committed for domestic violence in the context of developmental disorders, an independent risk factor for violence against relatives. There was no difference between the two groups regarding other variables. Our study highlights that drug and substance misuse may be a less important factor regarding violence in the context of insanity than in other types of violence.

Abstract:
Trends in homicide rates for emerging adults in Massachusetts was examined using data from the Massachusetts Violent Death Reporting System, Injury Surveillance Program, and Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Data for police killings was drawn from Mapping Police Violence which currently represents one of the most comprehensive databases of police killing victims in the U.S. Data from Analyze Boston was used to examine rates of police contacts that involved non-fatal police contacts (frisk or searches) among emerging adults in Boston, Massachusetts. Data for suicide deaths and mechanism of suicide were drawn from the Massachusetts Violent Death Reporting System, Injury Surveillance Program, Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Counts of Emergency Department visits for nonfatal drug overdoses in Massachusetts were drawn from the Massachusetts Inpatient Hospital Discharge, Outpatient Observation Stay, and Outpatient Emergency Department Discharge Databases, via the Center for Health Information and Analysis.
