Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a healthcare worker who has been assaulted, or know someone who has? Violence against healthcare workers has reached epidemic levels, and emergency nurses are particularly at risk. Assaults on healthcare staff are leading to life-changing injuries, PTSD, and even death. According to the American Nurses Association, workplace violence is one of the most complex and dangerous occupational hazards facing nurses working in today's health care environment. With this epidemic of violence increasing, nurses often perceive it as part of their job.Author Sheila Wilson, RN, BSN, MPH, has worked as a nurse for over 40 years, including almost 20 years in the ER environment. Within her career, she has witnessed and been a victim of violent assault. Reading this book, you will learn: * how to identify potentially dangerous situations* how to protect and advocate for yourself* what employers and administrators can and should do to protect you* how (and why) being a victim of assault is not acceptable, and is not within your job description.This book covers the extent and characteristics of violence in healthcare, some of the contributing factors, and most importantly, what we as healthcare workers can do about it. It even touches on what employers and administrators can do to mitigate healthcare violence. Since co-founding Stop Healthcare Violence in 2009, author Sheila Wilson has dedicated ongoing efforts to public outreach and education surrounding the growing pandemic of healthcare violence, supporting victims of assault, and lobbying for legislative change.

Book excerpt: Health care facilities were once thought of as "safe havens", but are now plagued with significant increases in aggression among patients, visitors, and staff. Healthcare workers suffer from atolerance of workplace violence and the perception that their profession implies the acceptanceof that violence. As a result, people who experience violence on a day-to-day basis become habituated to it as a part of the human condition. Violence can be prevented and cultural norms altered. Societies, communities, and individuals can make a difference and reject the notion of "an acceptable level" of violence. Even small investments in violence prevention can generate long lasting benefits. The purpose ofthis project was to develop an educational program to decrease violence against healthcare workers and increase staffs' ability to provide care in a safe, healing environment. The goal forthis project would be expansion and implementation in a major metropolitan hospital. All hospital employees, employers, patients, and visitors share the responsibility for creating a safework environment. When healthcare workers are given a safe working environment, the efficiency, and quality of care improves and benefits the entire community.

Book excerpt: Workplace violence is a serious concern for the approximately 15 million health care workers in the U.S. The Department of Labor's (DOL's) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the federal agency responsible for protecting the safety and health of the nation's workers, although states may assume responsibility under an OSHA-approved plan. OSHA does not require employers to implement workplace violence prevention programs, but it provides voluntary guidelines and may cite employers for failing to provide a workplace free from recognized serious hazards. This report examined the degree to which workplace violence occurs in health care facilities and OSHA's efforts to address such violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past 25 years have seen a major paradigm shift in the field of violence prevention, from the assumption that violence is inevitable to the recognition that violence is preventable. Part of this shift has occurred in thinking about why violence occurs, and where intervention points might lie. In exploring the occurrence of violence, researchers have recognized the tendency for violent acts to cluster, to spread from place to place, and to mutate from one type to another. Furthermore, violent acts are often preceded or followed by other violent acts. In the field of public health, such a process has also been seen in the infectious disease model, in which an agent or vector initiates a specific biological pathway leading to symptoms of disease and infectivity. The agent transmits from individual to individual, and levels of the disease in the population above the baseline constitute an epidemic. Although violence does not have a readily observable biological agent as an initiator, it can follow similar epidemiological pathways. On April 30-May 1, 2012, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Forum on Global Violence Prevention convened a workshop to explore the contagious nature of violence. Part of the Forum's mandate is to engage in multisectoral, multidirectional dialogue that explores crosscutting, evidence-based approaches to violence prevention, and the Forum has convened four workshops to this point exploring various elements of violence prevention. The workshops are designed to examine such approaches from multiple perspectives and at multiple levels of society. In particular, the workshop on the contagion of violence focused on exploring the epidemiology of the contagion, describing possible processes and mechanisms by which violence is transmitted, examining how contextual factors mitigate or exacerbate the issue. Contagion of Violence: Workshop Summary covers the major topics that arose during the 2-day workshop. It is organized by important elements of the infectious disease model so as to present the contagion of violence in a larger context and in a more compelling and comprehensive way.
