“…Both because of this reason and the necessity to specify (report) sexual abuse of individuals with disabilities clearly (Liou & Chen, 2016), educators must be careful, they need to receive training related to the legal protection rights and appropriate health interventions (Tharinger, Horton, & Millea, 1990). Seminars and informative meetings may be crucial in this regard.…”

“…Nursing victims are in a relative position of authority by providing services to patients who may be vulnerable due to limited health or ignorance of health care systems. This power dynamic differs from examples like domestic violence and bullying when the victim may be susceptible to the authority of a perpetrator (Liou & Chen, 2016).…”

“…The nurse's decision on whether to report patient aggression sits within a broad field of literature examining why people choose to report or not report concerning behaviours, including such topics as the reporting of child abuse (Liou & Chen, 2016), domestic violence (Smith et al, 2008), workplace bullying (Chatziioannidis et al, 2018), student bullying of teachers/professors (Lampman et al, 2016), cyberbullying (DeSmet et al, 2014, adverse clinical events (Nakamura et al, 2014), community diseases (Brissette et al, 2006) Finally, patient aggression is a matter of contra-power harassment, meaning someone of less power victimizes someone in a position of authority (Lampman et al, 2016). Nursing victims are in a relative position of authority by providing services to patients who may be vulnerable due to limited health or ignorance of health care systems.…”

Aim To establish the current state of the science about why nurses do or do not report being the victim of patient aggression, a form of type II workplace violence. This aim includes identifying and analysing current gaps in the literature. Background It is increasingly more common for patients to instigate aggressive acts towards nurses, leading to significant consequences. Nursing victims often do not report acts of patient aggression to others, making it difficult for health care leaders and researchers to address this challenge. Evaluation The review process involved searching five databases, using the PRISMA framework to reduce 355 records to 65 sources for review and synthesis. Key Issues The findings of this review highlight key takeaways about why nursing victims do not report episodes of patient aggression, which include their fears, attitudes and abilities related to reporting; and their perspective of the patient aggression event. Workplace environments are central to most of these factors, emphasizing the importance of nursing and other health care leaders to put systems in place that promote nurse reporting behaviours. Conclusions Patient aggression is a widespread problem with severe consequences. Review findings can inform future research while having practical relevance for health care leaders. Implications for Nursing Management Health care leaders need to consider how workplace structures, practices, and cultures can encourage or stifle nurse reporting behaviours. By understanding nurse reporting behaviours, processes can be developed to promote nursing victim reporting and deter patient aggression.

ObjectiveTo systematically search for research about the effectiveness of mandatory reporting of child maltreatment and to synthesise qualitative research that explores mandated reporters’ (MRs) experiences with reporting.DesignAs no studies assessing the effectiveness of mandatory reporting were retrieved from our systematic search, we conducted a meta-synthesis of retrieved qualitative research. Searches in Medline (Ovid), Embase, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Sociological Abstracts, Education Resources Information Center, Criminal Justice Abstracts and Cochrane Library yielded over 6000 citations, which were deduplicated and then screened by two independent reviewers. English-language, primary qualitative studies that investigated MRs’ experiences with reporting of child maltreatment were included. Critical appraisal involved a modified checklist from the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme and qualitative meta-synthesis was used to combine results from the primary studies.SettingAll healthcare and social-service settings implicated by mandatory reporting laws were included. Included studies crossed nine high-income countries (USA, Australia, Sweden, Taiwan, Canada, Norway, Finland, Israel and Cyprus) and three middle-income countries (South Africa, Brazil and El Salvador). Participants: The studies represent the views of 1088 MRs.OutcomesFactors that influence MRs’ decision to report and MRs’ views towards and experiences with mandatory reporting of child maltreatment.ResultsForty-four articles reporting 42 studies were included. Findings indicate that MRs struggle to identify and respond to less overt forms of child maltreatment. While some articles (14%) described positive experiences MRs had with the reporting process, negative experiences were reported in 73% of articles and included accounts of harm to therapeutic relationships and child death following removal from their family of origin.ConclusionsThe findings of this meta-synthesis suggest that there are many potentially harmful experiences associated with mandatory reporting and that research on the effectiveness of this process is urgently needed.
