Research by Pich, Hazelton, Sundin and Kable (2010) aimed to explore the concept of nurses in Australia identified as the occupation at greatest risk of patient-related violence in the healthcare sector care sector. The researchers found that violence against nurses by patients was higher in emergency departments; It is estimated that 70% of nurses working there experience violence on a weekly basis, and between 60 and 90% of nurses have reported being exposed to violence, both verbal and physical (Pich et al., 2010). Patients have consistently been identified as the most common source of such violence, accounting for ≤89% of all cases (Pich et al., 2010). Verbal abuse, a form of psychological abuse, has been reported by ≤ 82% of nurses in a wide range of clinical settings as the most common form of abuse (Pich et al., 2010). Swearing or obscenities were identified as the most common and was reported as the most violent form of verbal aggression (Pich et al., 2010). Physical violence has been reported to coexist with verbal violence, with “being pushed” as the most common form of physical abuse (Pich et al., 2010). A limitation of this research study was the focus exclusively on patient-related violence occurring in emergency departments. The researchers concluded that patient-related violence has negative implications not only for nurses themselves, but also for the quality of patient care and nurse retention and recruitment rates. Therefore, the researchers suggested that politicians and administrators recognize this problem as a priority and implement preventative measures. The purpose of Shiao et al. (2010) was to understand the incidence of work-related aggression among nurses working in general and psychiatric hospitals in Taiwan. Researchers use…half of the paper…activities.
