NURSING STAFF PERCEPTIONS TOWARD MANAGEMENT APPROACHES OF PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS WITH AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIORS

Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing

Violence and aggression are considered the most common problems occurring in psychiatric health care settings, Increasing aggression within the health system is a major growing problem for nurses, because they are the most susceptible to suffer violence. Although aggression receive more and more attention from researchers, there are only few studies looked at aggression from a nursing perspective. By identifying the causes and management of aggression as perceived by nurses, changes can be made which will result in better patient and nurse's outcomes, reduce aggression, and make the hospital more safe and productive.
