Overview
Workplace violence is an all too common occurrence in emergency departments and behavioral health settings. However, violence against healthcare workers extends beyond these work environments. To mitigate this threat and improve safety in our workplaces, advanced practice nurses must gain a global understanding of sources and triggers of violence, early detection skills, effective management options and best practices for physical action when necessary. All nurses must be sensitive to the impact that workplace violence has on work life and the emotional and behavioral health of coworkers. It is also crucial that nurses be well versed when discussing workplace violence with law enforcement authorities, hospital and department administration, and legislators. The intent of this presentation is to increase knowledge and understanding of the risks of workplace violence in healthcare settings, offer best practices for mitigating violence, and recommended options for care following a violent event.

Objectives

Discuss environmental factors that promote violence in emergency department settings.
Demonstrate understanding of short-term and long-term responses of healthcare providers to workplace associated violent events.
Discuss three options to prevent or reduce violent events in emergency department settings.
