“…The limitations of medical technology and the shortage of high-quality medical resources make it difficult for mental illness patients and their families to achieve the expected recovery, which makes patients and their families more likely to have conflicts with nurses and doctors ( 10 ). The characteristics of supportive environment, including the environment of inpatients, the optimization of architecture and interior design, can reduce the incidence of psychiatric workplace violence ( 11 ). However, the low level of economic development in China is not enough to fully support the optimization of ward environment, which hinders the reduction and prevention of psychiatric workplace violence.…”

“…Preventive strategies developed based on the needs and preferences of psychiatric nurses are more effective. Although few qualitative studies have focused on the influencing factors of psychiatric nurses suffering from workplace violence and their views on prevention of workplace violence ( 8 , 11 , 34 ). Unfortunately, due to the inherent limitations of qualitative research, the relative importance of these factors cannot be weighed, and no study has validated the effectiveness of preventive measures proposed by psychiatric nurses.…”

IntroductionWorkplace violence against healthcare workers has become a serious global public health problem. The incidence of workplace violence towards Psychiatric nurses is higher than in all other medical institutions, up to 84.2% per year. It not only negatively affects many aspects of healthcare workers’ lives, but also destroys the harmony of the nurse–patient relationship and reduces the quality of nursing care. The number of psychiatric nurses in China was approximately 96,000, far lower than most other countries and unable to meet the growing demand for mental health. However, the increase in workplace violence has future exacerbates the current shortage of nurses. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective strategies to prevent psychiatric nurses from suffering from workplace violence, thereby to reduce nurse turnover and improve the quality of nursing care. A comprehensive understanding of psychiatric nurses’ preferences and priorities for preventing workplace violence is an important prerequisite before formulating strategies and taking measures. Unfortunately, to date, no research has investigated the psychiatric nurses’ preferences. Therefore, a discrete choice experiment (DCE) is conducting to explore the psychiatric nurses’ preferences for workplace violence prevention. This article reports on methodological details of the DCE.Methods and analysisSix attributes were developed through a literature review, one-on-one interviews and focus group discussions. D-efficient design in NGENE was used to generate choice sets. SPSS 24.0 will be used for descriptive analysis of social Demography, and Stata 16.0 will be used for analysis of DCE data. A multinomial logit model will be used to preliminarily explore trade-offs between workplace violence prevention characteristics included in the choice tasks. Then, in a mixed logit model, we plan to choose some arbitrarily defined base violence prevention program and will use the nlcom command to evaluate the probability of an alternative violence prevention program.Ethics and disseminationThe study was approved by the relevant ethics committees. Our findings will emphasize priority intervention areas based on the preferences of psychiatric nurses and provide references for hospitals to develop and improve workplace violence prevention strategies. The results will be shared through seminars, policy briefs, peer-reviewed journal articles and online blogs.

PurposeTo determine if an online learning module on older people's care improved nursing students' self‐assessed knowledge, and perceptions of older people, we developed a brief Feedback Survey. The aim of this study was to examine the internal consistency (a type of reliability) and construct validity of the feedback survey.Design and MethodsSecondary analysis of data from the Awakening Canadian's to Ageism and McCalla e‐learning intervention studies for postsecondary nursing students. Factor analysis and reliability analysis (via standardised Cronbach's alpha) were performed on the four‐question, five‐point Likert‐type Feedback Survey, which was included in both intervention studies.ResultsFactor analysis yielded one factor interpretable as general satisfaction in students' experience with the module and perceived benefits of having completed it. Standardised Cronbach's alpha for this scale was high at 0.92, which suggests excellent internal consistency.Implications for PracticeThe feedback survey is a convenient and time‐efficient measure to examine student nurses' self‐assessed improvements in knowledge, perceptions about older people. The survey has potential for adaptation to measure perceived outcomes of other nursing student‐ focused education.

BACKGROUND: Workplace violence against mental health nurses is an international phenomenon that sparks concerns for nurses’ safety and mental health. This phenomenon has recently arisen as a crucial concern in the Middle East as it has become pervasive and has negative implications, causing nurses to accumulate psychological and emotional distress. However, no research has yet investigated the contributing factors of this phenomenon in Jordanian psychiatric hospitals from the nurses’ perspectives. AIMS: This study aimed to explore the factors contributing to workplace violence in Jordanian psychiatric hospitals from the perspective of mental health nurses. METHOD: An exploratory, qualitative design was utilized. Using audio-recorded, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews, a purposive sample of 24 mental health nurses were interviewed to collect data. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Four overarching themes were identified: Peak Time of Violence, Unavoidable Part of the Job, Poor Organization and Lack of Policy, and Bite the Bullet. CONCLUSION: From nurses’ perspectives, an in-depth understanding of factors contributing to workplace violence provides a foundation for developing preventive interventions, improving work environment safety, and promoting nurses’ mental health. Prevention strategies and further studies are warranted to limit this phenomenon.
