“…Therefore, it would be expected that the percentage of employees reporting both the presence of written rules or guidelines and security measures would be nearly equal. However, this was not the case in the WRS sample, but is consistent with Peek-Asa et al who reported a mismatch in the percentage of psychiatric units and facilities that had both policies and security measures present in the workplace [24] .…”

“…Peek-Asa et al (2009) found that of psychiatric departments in California and New Jersey, 94% had security measures in place, 92% had policies and procedures addressing workplace violence, and 95% provided workplace violence training to their employees [24] . Similar findings for medical healthcare settings were not found indicating that organizational protective measures may be in place more frequently for mental health settings compared to medical healthcare settings.…”

Work-related victimization affects 14.6 per 10,000 employees in the United States annually. Little is known about work-related victimization in healthcare or the preventive measures taken by employees and employers. A secondary analysis was conducted of the Workplace Risk Supplement (WRS) data from 4,213 healthcare employees. Mental health field employees reported a significantly higher percentage of being victimized while at work, worrying about victimization, having knowledge of rules or guidelines addressing workplace violence, and receiving education/ information on workplace violence compared to medical field respondents. Implications for hospital administrators based on study results are presented.

“…However, hospital security programs for EDs and psychiatric units have been found to have significant gaps. Hospital size and patient volume have been found to be related to the implementation of certain security program elements (8,9). In addition, it has been shown that state-mandated hospital security programs reduce rates of assault to ED and psychiatric department workers, but it is unclear how the comprehensive nature of these programs impacts those rates (10).…”
