Violence in healthcare settings is unacceptable. It’s a barrier to effective care delivery that has profound physical and emotional consequences. Data shows that workplace violence is four times more common in healthcare than in other industries. Recently, 86% of critical care nurses surveyed reported at least one incident of abuse, harassment or discrimination in the past year. The ubiquity of violence in healthcare demands that we be vigilant advocates for safety.
What can we, as nurses, do to mitigate violence and increase personal safety? Join webinar presenter Karin Reuter-Rice as she applies her clinical expertise and facilitation skills to the topic of violence in healthcare. She will explore factors that contribute to violence and signs that an interpersonal interaction may escalate. Her presentation will also provide strategies for promoting personal safety, such as de-escalation strategies, leveraging facility resources and addressing the physical environment.
