“…In any case, there are several considerations useful for directing action and making choices as to how best to counteract the phenomenon. First of all, to create a strong alliance between users and health personnel, to restore a relationship of trust between the parties (Babaei et al., ). Trust to be rebuilt among nurses and their managers and leaders (American Organization of Nurse Executives; Emergency Nurses Association, ), who often are perceived to be disinterested and insensitive to requests for help from Emergency nurses (Luck et al., ; Ramacciati, Bambi, & Rasero, ).…”

et al. 2019

Aim To analyse the dimensions and characteristics of violence towards Emergency nurses in a national context (Italy). Background Nurses are the most exposed to workplace violence, especially in Emergency Department contexts. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted in all Italian regions. Descriptive analyses were used to examine violence from patients and relatives (Type II violence) concerning personal characteristics of the Emergency nurses and perpetrators, environmental and organisational factors. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to investigate risk factors. Results About 76.0% of Emergency nurses experienced verbal violence, 15.5% both verbal and physical violence and only 8.5% denied having experienced either. Older age and more experience in Emergency settings are protective factors. Working in the South of Italy significantly increases the probability of being exposed. Discussion There are many factors explaining violence, but some correlations are not clear. Conclusion Factors that have a positive effect on this problem include: specific training for younger nurses, a strong alliance between users and health personnel to restore a relationship of trust between parties, physical barriers and appropriate architectural measures. Implications for Nursing Management Comprehensive approaches can represent an effective strategy to counteract workplace violence.

“…As the results show, the organisational culture tends to be more tolerant of violence owing to its frequency. This phenomenon not only makes nurses feel unsupported but also highlights a tolerant attitude towards violence, deepening the public's faulty perception of the nursing industry (Babaei et al., 2018). Therefore, organisations need to show strong resistance to workplace violence, and to adopt a direct stance to protect the rights and interests of nurses.…”

Aims and objectives To systematically identify, appraise and synthesise existing qualitative studies exploring nurses' lived experiences of workplace violence by patients, families and hospital visitors, identifying their support needs following workplace violence. Background Workplace violence against nurses is a significant concern globally, as it leads to serious negative consequences for nurses, patients and organisations as a whole. Having adequate support is considered significant. While numerous studies have been conducted on workplace violence, few qualitative reviews have focused on identifying nurses' support needs following episodes of workplace violence. Methods Four databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsychINFO and Scopus) were systematically searched. Additionally, hand searching of prominent journals, grey literature and reference lists of included studies was also performed to identify additional research. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist for qualitative studies was used to assess all included articles. Thomas and Harden's three‐stage approach to thematic analysis was followed, using the ENTREQ statement for reporting. Results Ten studies published in English, conducted across eight countries, met the inclusion criteria. Four analytical themes relating to nurses' experiences were identified: “inevitable and unpredictable trauma in the career” “higher tolerance and understanding of unintentional violence,” “positive learning or passive adjustment” and “struggle with the role and behaviour conflict.” In terms of nurses' support needs, the analysis yielded two themes: “informal support needs” and “formal support needs.” Conclusion Nurses experience significant and lasting psychological trauma due to workplace violence; however, the support for nurses remains seriously inadequate. Establishing an effective and robust support system based on nurses' needs must be viewed as a priority for organisations, as well as researchers. Relevance to clinical practice Institutions and managers have a duty to maintain an awareness of nurses' experiences and support needs regarding workplace violence. There is a need for further policymaking and research, based on clinical practice, in order to develop effective preventive and interventive strategies regarding workplace violence.
