Workplace violence, especially in psychiatric settings, is a significant issue that impacts both patient and staff safety. It can lead to injuries, high turnover rates among staff, and other problems. Several strategies have been found to help reduce violence, such as conducting risk assessments, providing de-escalation training to staff, implementing rapid response teams, improving nurse-patient ratios, and making environmental design changes. While ensuring complete safety is impossible, healthcare organizations should treat violence prevention as a high priority through implementing evidence-based practices and recommendations.
