The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that assaults in healthcare remain high compared to other types of work settings. A vast majority of these events are committed by patients. Among healthcare workers, nurses and patient care assistants experience the highest rates of violence. The effects of patient aggression and violence on employees are not limited to the immediate physical trauma. They also manifest as psychological issues such as loss of sleep, nightmares and flashbacks. In this session, the speaker will provide a framework and some practical strategies to assist organizations in making the necessary shift to a culture that is “zero” tolerant for patient aggression and establishes universal precautions for its staff.
