“…This study suggests that there may be gender differences in training outcomes. Lickiewicz et al (2020) reported the violence management training in medical school students was effective only for women. They stated that this difference may stem from gender differences in how aggression is perceived, as when compared to women, men tend to perceive aggression as less destructive (Bilgin et al, 2016).…”

Background Workplace violence (WPV) has been recognized as a major occupational hazard worldwide. Healthcare professions are particularly at a higher risk of WPV. Patients and their relatives are commonly the most common perpetrators for WPV against physicians. Trainings on the universal precautions of violence, how to effectively anticipate, recognize and manage potentially violent situation is recommended by OSHA as a part of a written, effective, comprehensive, and interactive WPV prevention program. Objective To implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a training session delivered to nurses. The training session aimed to increase nurses’ ability to identify potentially violent situations and to effectively manage these situations in a teaching hospital in Egypt. Methodology A total of 99 nurses attended the training sessions. Confidence in coping with aggressive patient scale, along with nurses’ attitudes toward WPV, were used to assess the effectiveness of the training sessions. Results Nurses’ perceived confidence to deal with aggression increased after attending the training sessions. Nurses’ attitudes toward WPV positively changed after attending the training session. Conclusion and recommendations Increasing awareness of the problem among healthcare professions as well as the public is warranted. Violence prevention program with a zero-tolerance policy is warranted.

“…Attitudes toward aggressive behavior were collected with the 12-item Perception of Aggression Scale (POAS-S) [ 45 ], which is a shortened version of the original scale (POAS) [ 46 ]. The POAS has been used in varying combinations of items, for example, in Switzerland [ 19 , 47 , 48 ], Sweden [ 23 ], the USA [ 49 ], France [ 50 ], Spain [ 25 ], Turkey [ 26 , 51 ], Taiwan [ 52 ] and Poland [ 53 ]. In this study, we used the self-administered Cantonese version of POAS-S [ 35 ].…”

et al. 2022

Attitudes toward aggression is a controversial phenomenon in psychiatry. This study examined and compared attitudes toward patient aggression in psychiatric hospitals from the perspectives of nurses, patients and informal caregivers and identified factors associated to these attitudes. A total of 2,424 participants completed a self-reported instrument regarding attitudes toward aggression (12-items Perception of Aggression Scale; POAS-S). We analysed data from nurses (n = 782), patients (n = 886), and informal caregivers (n = 765). Pearson’s r correlations were used to examine associations between variables. Differences between group scores were analysed using ANOVA/MANOVA with post-hoc Sheffe tests. Multivariate logistic regression models and logistic regression analysis were used to examine the effects of respondents’ characteristics on their attitudes toward aggression. Nurses had significantly more negative and less tolerant perceptions toward aggression (mean [SD] 47.1 [7.5], p<0.001) than the patients (mean [SD] 44.4 [8.2]) and the informal caregivers (mean [SD] 45.0 [6.9), according to the POAS-S total scores. The same trend was found with the dysfunction and function sub-scores (mean [SD] 25.3 [4.1] and 15.0 [3.6], respectively); the differences between the groups were statistically significant (p <0.001) when nurses’ scores were compared to those of both the patients (mean [SD] 23.7 [5.3] and 14.0 [4.1], respectively) and the informal caregivers (mean [SD] 24.4 [4.2] and 13.9 [3.5], respectively). The study offers new understanding of aggressive behavior in different treatment settings where attitudes toward patient behavior raises ethical and practical dilemmas. These results indicate a need for more targeted on-the-job training for nursing staff, aggression management rehabilitation programs for patients, and peer-support programs for informal caregivers focused on patient aggression.
