“…Bir tartışma sırasında hastanın sesini yükseltmesinden (sözel agresyon), silahlı saldırıda bulunulmasına (fiziksel agresyon) doğru geniş bir yelpazede değerlendirilmektedir. [14,15] Agresyonu önlemeye/gidermeye yönelik girişimler, geçerli ve açık-layıcı bir modele temelli olduklarında etkili olabilecektir. Bu doğrultuda, gereken ilk adım, agresyon kavramının tanım-lanmasıdır.…”

“…[71] Fiziksel agresyonun yanında, sözel agresyon eylemleri de mağdurda olumsuz emosyonel etkilenmelere yol açmaktadır. [14] Ancak çalışanlar arasında şiddete bağlı psikolojik etkilenmenin daha fazla olmasına rağmen, kurumsal yanıtların, esas olarak fiziksel yaralanmalara karşı verildiği belirtilmiştir. Lanza (1992), hasta şiddetine uğrayan çalışanların agresyonu önleme ve yönetmede baş etme şekillerini etkileyebilen, dört tipte psikolojik tepki gösterdiklerini ileri sürmüştür.…”

ÖZETPsikiyatri kurumlarında saldırı ve şiddet olayları, hastalara ve çalışanlara zarar vermekte, hastalar ve çalışanlar arasındaki ilişkiyi bozmakta ve terapötik ortama karşı bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Agresyon, klinik ortamı tahrip eden yapısı nedeniyle, psikiyatri bakımında en önemli uğraş alanlarından biridir. Agresyonu önlemeye/gidermeye yönelik girişimler, geçerli ve açıklayıcı bir model kapsamında tanımlandığında ve uygulandığında etkili olabilecektir. Böylece, maruz kalınan olaylar fark edilebilecek, bildirilebilecek, kayıt altına alınabilecek ve sistematik şekilde ele alınabilecektir. Bu derleme, psikiyatri servislerinde agresif olayların giderilmesini/en aza indirilmesini sağlayacak "koruyucu önlemlerin geliştirilmesinde", doğası, oluşumu, ortaya çıkışına katkıda bulunan faktörler ve etkileri çerçevesinde agresyon kavramını tanıtmak amacıyla literatür doğrultusunda bilgi vermeyi amaçlamıştır.

Objective: Aggression is a common feature in psychiatric in-patient units in Africa. The attitudes of psychiatric nurses and their perceptions of the frequency of in-patient aggression have not been explored in the Nigerian context. Method: Using a crosssectional study design, two self-report questionnaires (the Attitudes toward Aggression Scale (ATAS) and the Perception of the Prevalence of Aggression Scale (POPAS)) were administered to nursing staff (n=73) at two psychiatric facilities in Benin City, Nigeria. Results: Overall, nurses viewed aggression as offensive, destructive and intrusive. They were less likely to view it as a means of communication or serving protective functions. Verbal aggression was the commonest type of aggression experienced while sexual intimidation and suicide attempts were least common. Male nurses were more likely to experience physical violence and aggressive 'splitting' behaviours, while nurses with over a decade of professional experience were more likely to experience verbal and humiliating aggressive behaviours. In contrast to previous studies, fewer nurses required days off work due to aggressive behaviour. Conclusion: Aggression is commonly experienced by nurses in in-patient units in Nigeria. Their views were predominantly negative. Training programmes are required to change staff attitudes as well as research on the cultural factors mediating these attitude dispositions.

“…Attribution of cause raises many interesting questions particularly regarding assumptions about 'internal' states and the problems of treating understandable and justifiable anger against oppressive institutions as pathology (Masson 1990). Irwin (2006) provides a very clear rationale for greater emphasis on self awareness on the part of staff when attempting to manage aggression and violence. Sailas & Fenton (2001) reviewed the available literature with regard to the evidence of the effectiveness of restraint and seclusion.…”

This paper reviews the literature pertaining to the practice and experience of restraint and seclusion in inpatient psychiatric settings. These are physical practices typically used by nursing staff in order to manage violence within such services.The available quantitative literature demonstrates the variability in the prevalence of the practices and attitudes towards them. Qualitative research has focussed on the experience of the practices and the different but largely negative impacts they have. Many of these qualitative studies produce interesting and valuable findings; however the literature does not account for the role that language may play in constructing the experience and meaning of the practices for those involved. This and other limitations in the research are described and direction for further research indicated.
